Description

When model_save_format is not safetensors, AutoModel should give an indication that consolidated checkpointing won't happen.

As an idea, it could emit a warning, fast-fail on incorrect settings, model_save_format: consolidated_safetensors (and forgo the save_consolidated: true flag), or other ways.
