alt Hacker NewsLooks interesting! Is there any way to skip or speed up the 'Assessing Models' step? I'm unable to download anything because it's been taking forever. I'm sure you could apply some quick heuristics or do a lookup or something to filter models. Or trust the user a bit more -- I already know which models fit on my machine. As it stands I'm stuck at that step and can't use the app.
Maybe have it run silently in the background and assess on demand when a user selects / attempts to download a model. It's not quite clear why all need to be assessed before I can download the first model to try.
Thanks for reporting this issue - assessing is not supposed to take more than a minute or so. This is not strictly necessary but filters out models that don't fit in memory and gives speed estimates. This should ideally be a very short step so skipping hopefully wouldn't feel necessary if we patch this.
Could you share your hardware and OS details to help us identify what might be the issue here?
