Why does it start to download a model automatically when I first open the app?

It doesn't even ask if it's ok to do it, or where to put it, it just goes for it. It doesn't tell me what model it downloads, it just does it.
I already have a lot of models downloaded, I want to use one of those.
Nope, downloading model, which is probably a several GB download.

WTF?

You can modify it's behavior if you want.
Inside src/api.js
let model = "mistral"; --> modify this to the model you already downloaded.
