Where are embedding models downloaded to?

[jonmach]

Starting a server with a supported model works well, and with the docker examples in the documentation, it's clear where the data will be downloaded to: e.g. "-v $volume:/data".

However, I built a local install (M2 with Metal) and I can't see where the models are being saved to. From the code (download.rs), it isn't clear where it's saving, and then pulling the model from

Is it also worth considering whether a server could start with a parameterized data directory?

The model are downloaded by default to ~/.cache/huggingface. If you want to change the default directory, you can use the HUGGINGFACE_HUB_CACHE env var or --huggingface-hub-cache arg.
