Description
What feature would you like to request?
it's fairly standard for anything that takes a hugginface URL/repo name as input to also take a local folder as input
this change would make testing custom models easier.
i can serve a tar.gz locally, or place the model directly into the expected cache location, but this feature would be a bit nicer
Is there any additional information you would like to provide?

Research direction
Start by locating the custom-model Hugging Face source entry point and reading how it currently handles URLs or repository names. Update the behavior so a local model directory is accepted, then add or run coverage showing that a directory works alongside the existing remote source forms.
