The author believes this button should be placed more prominently, as it makes model duplication incredibly fast and might be one of Hugging Face's most important capabilities for "decentralization." They also mention previously downloading and re-uploading manually, even building a dedicated app for it, only to discover the feature was hidden in a dropdown menu all along.
