resolved, the function is created and passed into the model as an argument.
The `name` value is the name of any [HuggingFace model](huggingface-models),
which will be downloaded automatically the first time it's used. You can also
use a local file path. For full details, see the
[`TransformerModel` docs](/api/architectures#TransformerModel).

A wide variety of PyTorch models are supported, but some might not work. If a
model doesn't seem to work feel free to open an
[issue](https://github.com/explosion/spacy/issues). Additionally note that
Transformers loaded in spaCy can only be used for tensors, and pretrained
task-specific heads or text generation features cannot be used as part of
the `transformer` pipeline component.
