adding the functionality to be able to use gated hf models. #139
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Nowhere is the codebase using any environment variables. (eg. huggingface token). when you try to use a gated repo, it throws the "handle_name_conflict" error which is misleading.
Describe the solution you'd like
load the environment variable (hf token) before downlaoding any model.
Additional context
would definitely improve the user experience.
