Importing get_model is super slow

Bug

Running uv run python -c "import time; start = time.time(); from inference import get_model; print(f'Import took: {time.time() - start:.2f}s')" takes 120-150seconds on my machine. I presume this is because of some heavy work being done at import time. Is it possible to disable this?

Environment

Python 3.11 and inference 0.63.1. Happens for me on both MacOS and Linux

Minimal Reproducible Example

uv run python -c "import time; start = time.time(); from inference import get_model; print(f'Import took: {time.time() - start:.2f}s')"

Hi - yes, that was a problem with to much of the dependencies being imported at start - should be better now.
