EDIT So, I did a very preliminary search and it appears some people are concerned that HuggingFace is going to be banned for some reason or another are are building some type(s) of repository for open source models.
Here are a few mentions of it on reddit and twitter but really no in depth conversation about why it exists, what purpose it serves or how it's meant to be used. [1] [2]
There was another project mentioned called Tensorbay available at tensorbay[.]net and seems to have torrents for different models, weights, old scrapped websites that might be useful for training data & etc. But, I can't confirm the security or anything about it, so of course, visit all this stuff at your own risk.
I'd love to hear from whoever runs this project what it is and what it's for.
What is this site?
I came here to ask the same question.
There's some details here but I still don't fully understand.
