Do you know how much disk space this takes total? When I ran it, it downloaded nearly 30 gigabytes of models and seemed to be on track to download 28 more 5 gigabyte chunks (for a total of 150 gigabytes of disk space or maybe more). What is the total size before it finishes?
70B parameters * 2 bytes each (fp16 or bf16) = 140GB I wish models sizes were published in bytes.
Thanks, I finished downloading it (which took many hours) onto an external hard drive (by adding a HF_HOME environmental variable for where to store that cache). Its size was 262 GB.
