• The Problem When we released swift-transformers 1.0 earlier this year, we heard loud and clear from the community: Downloads were slow and unreliable.

• Developers resorted to manually downloading models and bundling them with their apps — defeating the purpose of dynamic model loading.
• No shared cache with the Python ecosystem.
