B4J Question <SOLVED> [PyBridge] ~/.cache setting

[Daestrum]

Which option do I need to set to stop (LLM) downloads going into .../Objects/~/.cache/...

I tried setting opt.PyCacheFolder = "D:/.cache" (where I keep my LLMs) , but they still end up in .../Objects/~/.cache/...

The problem is I end up with is a project folder that is multi-gigabytes on C: drive, which has the least room. (last check ~/.cache > 40GB)

Are you downloading from hugging face?

opt.EnvironmentVars.Put("HF_HOME", "D:\Temp")

 

[Daestrum]

yes and I have HF_HOME set in OS env variables already. Before version #2 it was working as expected and all LLMs went to D:/.cache.

I added

    opt.EnvironmentVars = CreateMap("script_dir" : scripts,"HF_HOME" : "D:/.cache")

and it seems to have sorted it.

Better to add the entries to the existing map instead of replacing it:

  opt.EnvironmentVars.Put("script_dir", scripts)
opt.EnvironmentVars.Put("HF_HOME", "D:/.cache")

Otherwise you will lose a few important settings.
