Transformers pipeline model directory

Question

I'm using the Huggingface's Transformers pipeline function to download the model and the tokenizer, my Windows PC downloaded them but I don't know where they are stored on my PC. Can you please help me?

from transformers import pipeline

qa_pipeline = pipeline(
    "question-answering",
    model="mrm8488/bert-multi-cased-finetuned-xquadv1",
    tokenizer="mrm8488/bert-multi-cased-finetuned-xquadv1"
)

You can check the default location with:

import transformers #it is important to load the library before checking!
import os
os.environ['TRANSFORMERS_CACHE']

In case you want to change the default location, please have a lock at this answer.

The default folder for models is at ~/.cache/huggingface And here's the doc from huggingface https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/installation#cache-setup
