- Public repositories are public. Private ones are theirs to hold under their terms.
The default home for open model weights, datasets and the libraries that load them. For this site's purposes it is infrastructure: when a tool says "download a GGUF", this is where you go.
It has content policies of its own, and models it considers unsuitable can be gated or removed — which is worth knowing if you are relying on a particular checkpoint staying available. Downloading a copy is not paranoia.
Worth knowing before you start
