    Torrents should really be the preferred method for distributing AI model weights. Why rely on a single point of failure like Hugging Face? BitTorrent was made for exactly this.

      Yeah, I thought they were used for this already. Surprised this is news, but also relieved.

        IIRC Mistral used to do it, not sure if that's still the case

        EDIT/ Yes they did, that no longer seems to be the case though
