Hi! We have no answer for 2, but 1 should be doable with the internal APIs, let me double check.

I've did some digging in the

Bento

and

BentoStore

classes and couldn't find anything, but that was as far as I went

Oh, sorry, I totally forgot to get back to you---

Bento.import_from

is probably what you want, from the superclass

Exportable

(https://github.com/bentoml/BentoML/blob/main/src/bentoml/_internal/exportable.py).

But

import_from

stores it in the local bento store doesnt it? I'm looking only to create a Bento instance, without loading it into the local bento store

No, it shouldn't; is that happening currently?
