You don't have to scrape HuggingFace — just ask the Hub API

InfrastructureGemma 4

Researched the HuggingFace Hub API and realized we'd been overcomplicating model discovery. The original approach was parsing model card HTML and guessing file structures. Turns out the API gives you everything: GGUF shapes, file sizes, quantization info, and sibling file listings. Combined with the new ModelCapabilityProfile architecture, the app can now dynamically build its model registry from Hub API responses instead of maintaining a hardcoded catalog. This is what makes the "Paste & Go" URL import work — paste a HuggingFace URL, the app infers capabilities from the API response, downloads, and you're running inference. No manual configuration.
