Pirate Face turns Hugging Face open models into permanent, uncensorable torrents
RexDouglass · x · 2026-09-16
A new service called Pirate Face is gaining attention: it syncs open models from Hugging Face — LLMs, image, audio, datasets — into checksum-verified magnet links that "can never be taken down," with no single owner or point of failure. It live-mirrors trending Apache-2.0/MIT models like the 765GB DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, Qwen3.8-27B and MiniCPM5-2B, alongside plenty of NSFW/abliterated models. The poster quips it's time to move to torrents now that Hugging Face "had its moment," nodding at takedown risk on centralized hosting.
