Why not just add "model-00001-of-*.safetensors" to the globs above?

That would generally work as well. I was thinking to treat it the same as the ggml files, where it's lower priority than the pth files, in case both exist. If I simply add the safetensors pattern to the globs, and both are present, the convert script will abort, since it's unsure which one to use.
In any case, I'm happy to change it if you prefer.

Hm, shouldn't the safetensors be preferred if anything?

That sounds good to me.
I initially wanted to minimize the behavior change, but I've updated the PR to try with the safetensors first.
… safetensors aren't available

When loading a safetensors file, ignore the metadata header.
If no pt or pth files are available, attempt to load safetensors files.
Edit: This has been changed to try to load safetensors files first, and only load the pt/pth/bin file if those aren't available.
