Description
Some models have the gguf weights on the hub: https://huggingface.co/QuantFactory/Meta-Llama-3-8B-GGUF/tree/main
We would need to find and map those to the respective models one by one I think.
Maybe via an `--from_quantized` flag for `litgpt download`.

Research direction
Start at the `litgpt download` command and trace how model names and weights are resolved. Clarify the proposed `--from_quantized` behavior and the model-by-model mapping needed for GGUF weights; done means supported quantized models can be identified, downloaded, and used through the documented flow.
