Internet connection #113

Closed Skrem339 closed 3 years ago

Skrem339 commented 3 years ago

The exe for windows weights 125 MB. I would imagine this space is being used by binaries and the model itself. Why then exe closes if I block internet connection for it? What is this connection being used for?

The windows exe does not contain models and optimization targets, which are downloaded at runtime. The 125M is mostly packaged python environment. You can check out the source code for more details.
