i think on Mac os pretty much all apps also use ~/.cache (so, same as linux)
Just my 2 cents

I don't use macos very often so I'm not sure. Maybe @ggerganov knows more about this?
My assumption is that ~/.cache widely used by applications ported from linux (maybe?), while ~/Library/Caches is the conventional OS X way (according to this documentation).
In either way, having model cached under user's $HOME is already very nice.

I see apps caches in both places on my machine - I guess either way is fine. Don't have an opinion

Let's keep ~/Library/Caches then (as it is referred in apple's documentation)

Maybe you forgot to remove this?

My bad, it should be removed now :)

Should be good to merge after resolving: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/7353/files#r1607877007

Quick question: Do you think we should also use cache dir under this condition params.model_url? @ggerganov
For now only params.hf_repo enables cache dir.

Btw, the cache directory on Windows is %LOCALAPPDATA% (see platformdirs). %APPDATA% will be synced synced between computers in an Active Directory domain ("Roaming").
