ModelArtifact gives a model version a stable identity. Its delivery can be handled by the engine,
a node cache, a PVC or an image.
Follow the Model Prefetch Walkthrough for a complete example with captured CR output.
Model Artifact covers resolution, validation and the delivery choices. Model Image Source covers image-backed weights.
Model Store Operations covers configuration, watermarks and
removal. Model Prefetch covers warming weights before a Pod needs
them. Node Model Store describes the per-node record and plugin.
The Model Artifact API covers reading artifact progress and node caches from the API. Node-to-Node Sync covers how a node pulls weights from another node's cache.
