I don't see a simple way to load a model locally, am I missing something?
I see you recommending roboflow universe in the comments, is there any way to download those models and running them locally? Or is an API key always required?

We also have a hosted API[4] you can hit for most models we support (except some of the large vision models that are really GPU-heavy) if you prefer.

As for Roboflow, you can use the `inference` package to run (among other things) all Roboflow Universe models locally. Take a look at README examples: https://github.com/roboflow/inference.
