Custom file provider

IModelFileProvider describes an operation that resolves a model source to a local file. In version 26.11.0, the built-in ModelManager creates and selects its concrete local and Hugging Face providers; registering an arbitrary IModelFileProvider alone does not replace that selection. AsposeModelId is reserved and is not consumed by the built-in manager.

Use a local model

Obtain a compatible model from its source after reviewing its publisher’s license, then set BaseModelSourceParameters.ModelFilePath before creating the API. See Model source parameters and Hello, world!. No model weights are included or distributed by Aspose.LLM.

Version 26.11.0 may fetch a configured remote model when no local path is supplied. A separate opt-in control is not yet implemented; provide a valid local path to avoid a model download.
