Instead of bundling external data into the docker image, download it at model load time using b10cp. b10cp download is very fast and we avoid the decompression step that comes with bundling into docker image. We also avoid the longer build times by bundling weights into docker image.
With https://github.com/basetenlabs/flan-t5-xl-truss/tree/ext-data Downloading the weights, which total around 11 GB, takes 40 seconds compared to 2 minutes when downloading from HuggingFace directly. This is significant improvement in startup time.
