If you’re building an on-device web-based AI app, you’ve probably built this 50 times already:Something that tells your users which models are available to download or already cached, then shows progress as they’re being downloaded.While building Rescript (see https://github.com/wassgha/rescript ), I had to build this exact same pattern.So I built it into a tiny library that streamlines that across transformers.js, onnx, prakeet and pretty much any model provider.Give it a try :)

Weightlift – the missing package manager for downloading model weights is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
