The model catalog and the load doors.

    ``ModelRegistry.builtin()`` is the one registry. ``list()`` enumerates
    every registered family; ``open(source)`` resolves a source to its
    family without loading weights; each ``load_<kind>(source, ...)`` loads
    a model of that kind, taking a :class:`LoadOptions` or its fields as
    keyword arguments.
    

## `__init__`

```python
__init__(self) -> 'None'
```

Initialize self.  See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

## `builtin`

```python
builtinThe shared registry.
```

The shared registry.

## `kinds`

```python
kinds() -> 'list[str]'
```

The model kinds a load door exists for.

## `list`

```python
list(self) -> 'list[Any]'
```

Every registered model family (ModelEntry objects).

## `load_kind`

```python
load_kind(self, kind: 'str', source: 'str', options: 'LoadOptions | None' = None, **overrides: 'Any') -> 'Any'
```

Load a model through the door named ``kind`` (one of
``ModelRegistry.kinds()``).

## `open`

```python
open(self, source: 'str', *, revision: 'str' = 'main', token: 'str | None' = None, cache_dir: 'str | None' = None, offline: 'bool' = False, any_weight_option: 'bool' = False) -> 'Any'
```

Resolve a source to its identity (family, architecture, model type,
variant) without loading weights.
