Model installation issue locally

Hi @simonw Thanks so much for all the hard work, and this is a fantastic resource.

There's a possibility I'm doing something wrong but let me try to explain what I see.

Problem

• I was trying to run the mistral model locally on my computer.
• I use poetry installation of the llm model.

I get the following errors.

100%|██████████████████| 1.98G/1.98G [01:33<00:00, 21.2MiB/s]
Error: Unable to instantiate model: Model format not supported (no matching implementation found)```

llm -m mistral-7b-instruct-v0 'difference between a pelican and a walrus'
Error: Unable to instantiate model: Model format not supported (no matching implementation found)

I ran the following. Is it due to the fact that I'm using an M3 chip?

Hope this helps.

Start with the llm -m command and the Poetry-installed environment, reproducing the reported Model format not supported error for both model names. Trace how the CLI selects a model implementation and compare that with the locally installed model support; done means both commands instantiate successfully on the reported setup or the incompatibility is clearly documented.
