Enhance model repository

[samuelrince]

Description

The following improvements can be considered :

• Automatically synchronize local file with remote (right now a GitHub URL)
• Have the model repository follow its own release cycle
• Handle alias instead of duplicating models
• Support dynamic fields based on the model type

Solution

A separate repository that builds the file that is then injected in the client build?

Considerations

Any input is welcome.

Hi @samuelrince, just wanted to highlight one thing I observed - the ModelRepository.from_csv() is loading the CSV file from disk each time it's called (code here), which is slowing down it's performance due to the increased disk I/O.

We can probably consider making the ModelRepository a singleton class, so ModelRepository.from_csv() will load the CSV from disk only the first time and return the same every time it's called. This will also increase it's performance due to much lesser disk I/O.

P.S.> I came across Ecologits recently and I think it's an amazing project and initiative, kudos to you and all other contributors for the great work! 💚
