Originally, the loaded mechanism supported downloading models from HuggingFace.
The current implementation of the HuggingFace loader makes assumptions of being on Darwin based systems with uses of URLSession that aren't supported on Linux. For the short term the "troubled code" was either commented out or wrapped in compiler flag that would exclude it from the linux build process.
However, a decision needs to be made if we should keep this could around or not. The project currently assumes models will be present on the local filesystem & we can just use the local loader.
If we want to keep the funcitonality of loading models from HuggingFace at run time, we would need to write a Linux friendly downloader. Where all URL session things are replaced.
