Description

I'm looking to download "microsoft/Phi-4-mini-instruct" which is a valid "repo_id" but it is not listed in the Download list.

`./litgpt download microsoft/Phi-4-mini-instruct`

`Unsupported `repo_id`: microsoft/Phi-4-mini-instruct.`

Research direction

Start with the `litgpt download` command and the validation that rejects `microsoft/Phi-4-mini-instruct`; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Done means this valid Hugging Face repo ID is accepted and can be downloaded through the command.
