## `pipeline`

```python
pipeline(task: 'str', model: 'str | Any | None' = None, *, options: 'LoadOptions | None' = None, stage_observer: 'Any' = None, **load_options: 'Any') -> 'Pipeline'
```

The callable for ``task`` over ``model``: a source to load (a local
directory, a hub repo id, a .gguf file) or an already loaded model of the
task's kind. The keyword arguments are :class:`LoadOptions` fields
(``device``, ``dtype``, ``max_seq``, ``revision``, ...). An unknown task
raises ValueError naming the eleven. ``stage_observer`` installs the
model's stage observer (``set_stage_observer`` on the loaded model: the
stages of every call, on their own threads) where the model's kind
reports stages.
