Torrents should really be the preferred method for distributing AI model weights. Why rely on a single point of failure like Hugging Face? BitTorrent was made for exactly this.
Honestly, models are torrents will end any effort from the big AI labs to stop open models. No way to prevent weights from being shared, just like mobies. Genie is out of the bottle
great initiative, it's really weird seeing efficiencies get rediscovered in the LLM audience, because these efficiencies aren't even what I would consider to be old

Yeah, I thought they were used for this already. Surprised this is news, but also relieved.

Arguably this should've been a thing since day 1 (and probably would've helped to prevent the buyout), but better late than never.
Hugging face seemed like buyout bait from day one.
Which makes it more surprising that something like this didn't exist. I'm relieved it does though.
That is pretty smart, torrent should have been used for more things, and this is a perfect usecase!
