## Model Management

Models are automatically downloaded and cached on first use.

- **Cache location**: `~/.uniface/models/` (configurable via `set_cache_dir()` or `UNIFACE_CACHE_DIR` env var)
- **Inspect cache path**: `get_cache_dir()` returns the resolved active path
- **Verification**: Models are verified with SHA-256 checksums
- **Concurrent download**: `download_models([...])` fetches multiple models in parallel
- **Manual download**: Use `python tools/download_model.py` to pre-download models

See [Model Cache & Offline Use](concepts/model-cache-offline.md) for full details.
