Community urges backing up quantized models amid takedown risk, shares torrent mirrors
Kahvana · reddit · 2026-10-25
A Reddit post warns quantized model creators that takedowns may be spreading and urges immediate backups of anything worth keeping. The author asks anyone with the means to create torrents and share them via community archive sites: llama.garden, pirateface.co/models, and huggingbay.xyz/browse.
While the specific cause isn't stated, this kind of "save it while you can" call usually signals tightening model availability on platforms — a practical heads-up for users relying on quants for local deployment.
