[Feature]: Try to load model from cache without checking HF revision first #575
Description
What feature would you like to request?
There is a certain inconvenience about model loading process
After model was downloaded, each time its instance is created, hf_hub do a request to hf to check whether a new revision is available
However, it might not be an expected behaviour
What we'd like to do instead:
Try to load model from cache if it exists, do not make any calls to HF
If model is not available: run the full hf_hub pipeline to download the model
Is there any additional information you would like to provide?
No response
