+/// This factory function converts an ETensor to a SlimTensor, optionally
+/// copying the data to a target device. The ETensor is assumed to always
+/// reside on CPU.
+///
+/// @param etensor The source ETensor (always on CPU).
+/// @param target_device The target device for the output SlimTensor.
+/// @return A new SlimTensor with data copied to the target device.
+///
+/// @note ETensor uses int32_t (SizesType/StridesType) for sizes and strides,
+///       while SlimTensor uses int64_t. This function handles the conversion.
+///
+/// Example usage:
+/// @code
+///   auto* cpu_tensor = &(args[i]->toTensor());  // ETensor from EValue
+///   SlimTensor gpu_tensor = from_etensor(*cpu_tensor, DEFAULT_CUDA_DEVICE);
+/// @endcode
