Does Flux Load/Save require the same variable name?

```julia
@save "30x30_64x64.bson" model

@load "30x30_64x64.bson" model1

Error: Key model1 not found
```

Yes, according to [BSON.jl](https://github.com/JuliaIO/BSON.jl), which does the save and load. The value of model which you save is associated with the variable name you provide, so you have to use it to access the model again.

In other words `@load "30x30_64x64.bson"` should work. And you should have `model` in your environment after running it.
