Pirate Face mirrors 669k+ Hugging Face models as checksum-verified torrents
cephaloform · x · 2026-09-13
Pirate Face is a decentralized service that mirrors open Hugging Face models as torrents — every file carries the official HF SHA-256 checksum, and creators can verify ownership via their @handle. It claims 669k+ eligible models indexed, including DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (765GB), MiniCPM5-2B, and Qwen3.8-27B. The pitch: even if a model disappears from HF, the swarm keeps it alive.
