Description

Feature Request

What is the problem that this feature solves?

Current Git LFS path and GDrive model download paths are ok, but painful to actually figure out what you actually want, having to download everything locally or go file by file and then loading into Netron.

Describe the feature

Replace Git LFS and GDrive by just adding models and datasets directly into the repo with the XetData app and extension. This allows for easier updates and integrated Netron views. I made a copy of the existing repo with models so you can see what this would look like. It's a nicer development experience as well, since we show before and after views on commits and PRs.

Feature Area: Model storage, file organization

Notes

I work for XetData and we are free for all public usage. Happy to make a PR for these updates if there's interest. We also have a version hosted with built in views on XetHub.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's current Git LFS and Google Drive model and dataset download paths, then compare them with the linked onnx-models copy and XetData documentation. Done would require an agreed migration plan covering storage, file organization, updates, and integrated model views, followed by the necessary repository changes.
