This commit adds a new python script that can be used to print tensors
information from a tensor in a safetensors model.
The motivation for this is that during model conversion work it can
sometimes be useful to verify the shape of tensors in the original
model. While it is possible to print the tensors when loading the model
this can be slow when working with larger models.
With this script it is possible to quickly query tensor shapes.
Example usage:
```console
(venv) $ ./scripts/utils/tensor-info.py --help
usage: tensor-info.py [-h] [-m MODEL_PATH] [-l] [tensor_name]
Print tensor information from a safetensors model
positional arguments:
tensor_name Name of the tensor to inspect
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-m MODEL_PATH, --model-path MODEL_PATH
Path to the model directory (default: MODEL_PATH environment variable)
-l, --list List unique tensor patterns in the model (layer numbers replaced with #)
```
Listing tensor names:
```console
(venv) $ ./scripts/utils/tensor-info.py -m ~/work/ai/models/google/embeddinggemma-300m -l
embed_tokens.weight
layers.#.input_layernorm.weight
layers.#.mlp.down_proj.weight
layers.#.mlp.gate_proj.weight
layers.#.mlp.up_proj.weight
layers.#.post_attention_layernorm.weight
layers.#.post_feedforward_layernorm.weight
layers.#.pre_feedforward_layernorm.weight
layers.#.self_attn.k_norm.weight
layers.#.self_attn.k_proj.weight
layers.#.self_attn.o_proj.weight
layers.#.self_attn.q_norm.weight
layers.#.self_attn.q_proj.weight
layers.#.self_attn.v_proj.weight
norm.weight
```
Printing a specific tensor's information:
```console
(venv) $ ./scripts/utils/tensor-info.py -m ~/work/ai/models/google/embeddinggemma-300m layers.0.input_layernorm.weight
Tensor: layers.0.input_layernorm.weight
File: model.safetensors
Shape: [768]
```
