Description

Hi, it would be really fantastic if there was example code to host Nougat inference on candle! Is there any chance of this being supported? The documentation doesn't seem too far off what is provided for say running a BERT model inference session https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/model_doc/nougat.

Research direction
Review existing model implementations in candle (e.g., BERT, LLAMA) to understand the pattern. Study the Nougat model architecture and its HuggingFace implementation to identify required components. Implement the model in candle, focusing on inference only as requested. Add example code in the examples directory, similar to existing ones.
