Hey @adysenrothman great job! I tried running the sample sources file for hf from the README but I got the following errors:

E1201 14:35:45.262746   37571 hf_catalog.go:297] Failed to fetch model info for ibm-granite/granite-4.0-h-small: failed to decode model info for ibm-granite/granite-4.0-h-small: json: cannot unmarshal bool into Go struct field hfModelInfo.gated of type string
E1201 14:35:45.401656   37571 hf_catalog.go:297] Failed to fetch model info for microsoft/phi-2: failed to decode model info for microsoft/phi-2: json: cannot unmarshal bool into Go struct field hfModelInfo.gated of type string

seems like the gated field is defined as string, but HuggingFace returns it as false (boolean) for non-gated models and "auto" or "manual" (string) for gated ones.
