The author explains why it's beneficial to create mirror backups of dependent models:
- Easily retain accessible snapshots of the models you rely on
- Organize frequently used models under your own account
- Pin a specific version to ensure reproducibility in future experiments
- Serve as a starting point for modifications within licensing limits
- Eliminate the repetitive process of manually downloading and re-uploading
