Issue about model downloads

[Flame-byte]

This issue arises when using version 0.1.0 #1 on a Windows system.

When I started the FLM server for the first time, there were some issues with pulling the model file. Then I found the network connection caused it.

Model: llama3.2:1B
Name: Llama-3.2-1B-NPU2
Missing files:
config.json
- tokenizer.json
- attn.xclbin
- mm.xclbin
- dequant.xclbin
- layer.xclbin
- lm_head.xclbin
- model.q4nx
[PULL] Downloading 8 files...
Downloading 1/8: config.json?download=true
CURL error: Timeout was reached
Failed to download: https://huggingface.co/FastFlowLM/Llama-3.2-1B-NPU2/resolve/main/config.json?download=true
[ERROR] Failed to download model files.
[FLM] Loading model: C:\Users\wisemodel-aipc-04-b\flm/../../models/Llama-3.2-1B-NPU2

In some regions, model image pull may fail due to network issues.
To solve this issue. You can find mirrors of the project models on the Hugging Face mirror site in your area. For example, you can use the following link.

https://hf-mirror.com/FastFlowLM

After pulling the model, you should put the model file in the following path. For example

C:\Users\models\Llama-3.2-1B-NPU2

In this way, the model can be accessed by flm.

By the way. The path of the model file has been moved to the following path in v0.1.1#3.
https://github.com/FastFlowLM/FastFlowLM/releases/tag/v0.1.1

C:\Users\<USER>\Documents\flm\models\

Glad that your problem was solved. Please let us know if you have more issues.

我直接用huggingface.co 工具下载的模型，然后拷贝到flm模型目录，但是flm识别不了模型，请问是怎么回事呢？
另外直接用flm下载模型一直失败，不管挂不挂vpn都失败

I directly downloaded the model using Hugging Face’s tool (huggingface.co) and copied it to the FLM model directory, but FLM can’t recognize the model. What could be the reason? Also, downloading models directly through FLM always fails, whether I’m using a VPN or not.

Thank you for your interest and for trying FLM out! 🙏

Please check the FLM_MODEL_PATH in System Variables to make sure you are using the correct model path.

For example, if your FLM_MODEL_PATH is:

C:\Users\info\flm

then your models should be under:

C:\Users\info\flm\models

The newest Qwen3-VL model is in:

C:\Users\info\flm\models\Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct-NPU2

Note: the model folder name is not necessarily the same as the name on Hugging Face (see list below for "correct names").

In regard to the question about downloading from HF: it is known that HF is not accessible in certain regions/countries.
Please try downloading the model from a mirrored site:

https://hf-mirror.com/FastFlowLM

Regarding downloading models from the https://hf-mirror.com/FastFlowLM endpoint, its stability seems to be less than ideal recently and may require several attempts to succeed. Additionally, the folder names of models downloaded from this endpoint might differ from those obtained from the official HuggingFace source (such as in capitalization), which could also prevent FLM from correctly recognizing the models. Hope this would help you.
