model metadata reader

[exdysa]

@duskfallcrew There is a plethora of information locked away in the models that people tend to ignore. I was thinking that perhaps it might aid you in creating or analyzing LoRAs/checkpoints and their creator data, trigger words, tools used, etc... Would you be interested in essentially importing this feature in the near future?

I built a metadata reader for darkshapes that is able to display model metadata from .safetensors, .gguf, and .pt/pth/ckpt/. Since the header is separate from the tensors, its nabbed instantly. This means the models DO NOT get loaded into memory, so it doesn't matter how big the model is. This can work on any system As the code is already written, and I've thoroughly tested it. The entire task is a single page of code that requires a few lines of import and a couple tweaks of the text block areas.

From where I stand, I think it is a no-brainer, since its currently non-extant in other readers, will be very easy to implement, and useful in a number of ways, but I would like to know what you think before I take any action. 🤍
