Model Hub — download pre-exported models from Qualcomm AI Hub, run inference on-device, and export them to App Builder as ready-to-import Packs. Use this skill when the user wants to use an AI Hub prebuilt package (`.bin` / `.dlc` / ONNX) without doing custom conversion. NOT for self-converted models — use model-builder skill instead.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Model Hub
> **How to use this SKILL:** ① Pass the **Pre-Flight Self-Check** below (MANDATORY gate). ② **x64 host + inference request?** → read `${APP_ROOT}/factory/chat_features/_shared/x64-host-notes.md` FIRST. ③ Follow the 8-step workflow; open the referenced `references/*.md` when you reach a step that needs it. ④ Hold the **Disciplines** the whole run.

## ✋ Pre-Flight Self-Check (MANDATORY GATE)
| # | Must answer | How |
|---|------|--------|
| 1 | Detected the chipset suffix? | Step 0 (`Get-ChildItem HKLM:\...Services` for `qcadsp*`, **NOT** `Get-PnpDeviceProperty`). The result is a **routing input**, not a stop signal — x64 / no-qcadsp is a legitimate host, decide feasibility only after step 2. |
| 2 | Read this model's `NOTES.md`? | `read factory/chat_features/model-hub/models/<model_id>/NOTES.md`; exists → **must read BEFORE declaring feasibility** (Format field tells you whether the package is `.bin`-only or has a `.dlc` variant; has download links / I/O / pitfalls / ready script, skip most Steps 1–5); absent → create at task end. |
| 3 | Inference tool = `qai_appbuilder`? | NPU always via `QNNContext` loading `.bin`/`.dlc`; `onnxruntime` only for CPU baseline |

How to install
mdr add qualcomm/qai-appbuilder/model-hub@sha256:98e37318cdf4cdabThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260822.fbacac1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
