Changes
Why is this important?
With safetensors being much faster in loading up the weights, this is a helpful change for the repository. These modifications only come into effect if the HF repository does not have the .bin file, therefore, there would be no changes to the current open_clip users. My changes only come into effect if the .bin file is missing, and instead of raising an Exception, it checks the repo again for .safetensors file before doing so.
