How to help
Help preserve open and free AI for humanity's future — the archive survives because people carry it. Every option below needs no permission: just start.
1 · Seed a model
The cheapest and most valuable help. Download the .torrentfrom the catalog and leave your torrent client running after the download finishes. Aim for a share ratio of 2.0 or better. Transmission and aria2 are solid choices —setup walkthrough on /verify.
2 · Mirror the archive
Everything this site serves is static and re-servable: the signed manifest, the minisign signatures, and every .torrent. Anyone can host a full mirror with plain HTTP —how to mirror →
3 · Run a region node
Seed the full catalog from a continent that doesn't have one yet, or host a webseed bucket. Bandwidth-heavy but maximally useful — reach the maintainers on GitHubto get listed on /mirrors.
4 · Vote & submit requests
What gets archived next is steered by demand:vote on model requests →. Openly licensed models only.
5 · Spread the word
Tell people where the verified copies live:
6 · Donate
