* Get parallel loader working. Include tests.
* Update the tests for parallel loading
* Rename env variables.
* Add docs for parallel model weight loading.
* Touch up parallel model loading docs.
* Touch up parallel model loading docs again.
* Edit comment in test_modeling_utils_parallel_loading.py
* Make sure HF_PARALLEL_LOADING_WORKERS is spelled correctly in modeling_utils.py
* Correct times for parallelized loading, previous times were for a "hot" filesystem
* Update parallel model loading so the spawn method is encapsulated. DRY up the code by leveraging get_submodule.
* Update docs on model loading parallelism so that details on setting the multiprocessing start method are removed, now that the package handles this step internally.
* Fix style on model loading parallelism changes.
* Merge latest version of master's modeling_utils.
* Removed unused variable.
* Fix argument packing for the parallel loader.
* Fix state dict being undefined in the parallel model loader.
* Rename variables used in parallel model loading for clarity. Use get_module_from_name().
* Switch to the use of threads for parallel model loading.
* Update docs for parallel loading.
* Remove the use of json.loads when evaluating HF_ENABLE_PARALLEL_LOADING. Prefer simple casting.
* Move parallelized shard loading into its own function.
* Remove use of is_true(). Favor checking env var true values for HF_ENABLE_PARALLEL_LOADING.
* Update copyright to 2025 in readme for paralell model loading.
* Remove garbage collection line in load_shard_file, implicit garbage collection already occurs.
* Run formatter on modeling_utils.py
* Apply style fixes
* Delete tests/utils/test_modeling_utils_parallel_loading.py
