bug: Could not able to run models since 172

[louis-jan]

Cortex version

172-176

Describe the Bug

Model run is broken at 172; I was unable to start HF model models. It worked fine before.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Update to version 172 or the latest version 176.
2. Clean.
3. Pull a HF model
4. Run
5. See errors.

@nguyenhoangthuan99 / @vansangpfiev for v183,

• I'm getting the same error as Louis' first picture
• For huggingface models only (cortexso models are ok)
• cortex run <Model ID> is successful but cortex run <model alias> throws the uncaught exception YAML::BadSubscript

Hi @gabrielle-ong, we will deprecate model_alias soon https://github.com/janhq/cortex.cpp/issues/1410#issuecomment-2418721440. So can we mark this bug as won't fix?

[gabrielle-ong]

True agree, thanks @vansangpfiev This will be handled as part of #1512 next week

• deprecating model_alias
• using regex for cortex run, so this error should not occur
