What does this PR do?
Problem
Pipeline aliases generate a new download path on each CLI run, bypassing the cache and causing unnecessary model re-downloads.
Solution
Delegate model caching to HuggingFace's built-in cache mechanism:
repo_id+model_variant, models are stored in HF's default cache path, ensuring cache hits across runsmodel_diris provided, models are loaded directly from that path (no download)Changes
