## Documentation

* Class name: `CheckpointLoaderSimple`
* Category: `loaders`
* Output node: `False`

The CheckpointLoaderSimple node is designed for loading model checkpoints without the need for specifying a configuration. It simplifies the process of checkpoint loading by requiring only the checkpoint name, making it more accessible for users who may not be familiar with the configuration details.
