ModelNotFoundError: Cannot find model record in appConfig for DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-q4f16_1-MLC

[jvjmarinello]

I upgraded my npm package to the latest version (@mlc-ai/[email protected]) to try the new DeepSeek models.

Everything works as expected when I try to load older models, like Llama 3.2; However, when I try to load R1 I get an error. Not sure if it's a bug or issue in my config. Please advise.

How I load the model:
const modelID = "DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-q4f16_1-MLC"
const engine = await webllm.CreateServiceWorkerMLCEngine(modelID, {
initProgressCallback: (report) => console.log(report.text),
});

Error

Error loading model DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-q4f16_1-MLC: ModelNotFoundError: Cannot find model record in appConfig for DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-q4f16_1-MLC. Please check if the model ID is correct and included in the model_list configuration.
