Strange pop-up: "InferenceExtension" differs from previously opened versions. Are you sure you want to open it?

Since a couple of days ago, I keep getting this pop-up: "InferenceExtension" differs from previously opened versions. Are you sure you want to open it?


I searched online, but I didn't find any useful answers. Does anyone know what this "InferenceExtension" is, and why do I get this warning?
