model.safetensors is missing read permissions after saving with SentenceTransformer.save()

When using SentenceTransformer.save(), model.safetensors has different read permissions from all other files in the model directory:

• other files have -rw-rw-r--, which is the standard value for most files
• model.safetensors has -rw-------

This is a small detail but can cause a bit of annoyance in particular use cases, for example:

• One wants to include a model in a Docker image
• He downloads and saves it when building the image. The saved files are by default owned by root.
• The folder in which the model was saved looks readable (it has -rw-rw-r--)
• When one runs the container (which he is presumably not doing as root) and tries to load the model he gets a FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory: model.safetensors

Would it be possible to fix this?

Environment:

• sentence-transformers 6.0.1
• transformers 4.57.6
• Python 3.12.14
