Implement single model loading to optimize memory usage

- Modified load_model function to keep only one model in memory at a time
- Previous model is automatically unloaded when loading a new model
- Maintains same model reuse optimization if requesting already loaded model
- Reduces memory footprint by avoiding accumulation of multiple models
