The card's loading snippet names the moving model ID and does not pass a revision, so reproduce with an explicitly selected provider revision and all required config/processor files rather than assuming this example pins them. This 906712520-byte artifact exceeds the Hub single-file 8 MiB acquisition limit. Hugging Face resolve issues a signed CDN redirect; no redirect, tensor transfer, package install, model/dataset load, GPU/cloud operation or robot contact was performed. No Hub adapter or runtime success is claimed."
