Models for the super resolution and semantic segmentation plugins are relatively small and therefore built into the snap, while the stable diffusion models are each on the order of GBs and therefore downloaded to a user's home directory at `~/.local/share/openvino-ai-plugins-gimp` via one of two methods: a `model-setup` command-line tool or from within the GIMP application. To run the interactive command-line tool:
