Model Weight Loading And Variant Management

Tiny vision-language model for edge devices.

Unique: Configuration system (MoondreamConfig) decouples architecture parameters from weight loading, enabling variant-specific configs (config_md2.json, config_md05.json) that specify vision encoder, text decoder, and region encoder dimensions; integrates with Hugging Face Hub for seamless weight discovery and caching without custom download logic.

vs others: Simpler than manual weight management or custom model loading; leverages Hugging Face ecosystem for reproducibility and version control, avoiding custom serialization formats.
