This tip is for the users trying to download model(s) from HuggingFace:
- 1. If you try to download a large sized AI model using the Python 'snapshot_download()'' method, it may hang after downloading a portion
- 2. Use the command-line 'hf' command instead
- 3. In the shell, first set the environment variable - 'export HF_XET_HIGH_PERFORMANCE=1'
- 4. To download the AI model with repo-id 'Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512', use the command - 'hf download Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512'
