Ah let me clarify, many of the in the browser demos make me download certain models even if I already have them It would be great if there was a way that I don't have to redownload them across demos so that I just have a cache. or an in browser model manager. hope this makes sense.

Or indeed use some sort of huggingface model downloader (if that exist with XET)

also maybe a good usecase to finally have P2P web torrents :)

CDN wouldn't help much. These days browsers partition caches by origin, so if two different tools (running on different domains) fetch the same model from the CDN, the browser would download it twice.

Adding a file input where users can upload files to the frontend directly from their file manager would probably work as a stop-gap measure, for the ones who want something quick that let people manage their own "cache" of model files.
