Pirate Face launches verifiable torrent index mirroring every Hugging Face open model
AIFlow_ML · x · 2026-10-01
Pirate Face bills itself as the first verifiable torrent index for AI: every open model on Hugging Face — LLMs, image, audio, and datasets — becomes a magnet link with checksum proof that it's identical to the original, kept alive forever by the swarm with no single owner or point of failure.
The site syncs trending Apache-2.0/MIT models from Hugging Face live and auto-generates torrents, and users can submit their own model files. Framed as a "permanence layer for AI" to keep open models from disappearing if they get taken down. Just launched, with a how-it-works thread attached.
