Model download sizes

[WillSmithTE]

Hi, for my users it's important to know the download size before picking a model. Is that included somewhere in the package? All I see is vram_required_MB:

web-llm/src/config.ts

Line 1497 in 632d347

model:

thanks!

+1 to this.

I'm currently checking how big is the first model chunk downloaded and then presenting the user with a progress bar, but it would be nice to show the whole model size ahead of time, maybe include along side vram_required_MB on prebuiltAppConfig model list.

another +1

My manual workaround for now has been to manually measure the download size for each model using network tab in browser developer tools, and using that as a rough estimate.

But that was frustratingly time-consuming, so a more scalable and automated way would be nice.
