bug: `cortex run`: Error: Please delete model before downloading again

[gabrielle-ong]

Cortex version

v1.0.0-141

Describe the Bug

Issue faced when running an already downloaded huggingface model author/model_id

> cortex-nightly run bartowski/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-GGUF
...
Selected: Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Q2_K.gguf
Model already downloaded: bartowski:Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-GGUF:Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Q2_K.gguf
Error: Please delete the model before downloading again

Error: Model not found

Expected behaviour:

1. I expect it to run the downloaded model
2. I expected the model alias to be the huggingface path bartowski/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-GGUF
