HF is the default platform to find models. Not just ones published by big labs but also a lot of the distilled or fine-tuned versions, etc.

If Nvidia buying HF makes it tough for all the diverse models on HF, then what are some alternatives?

It seems models are the best things to be available on a Torrent platform? Of course HF is much more than just the files but perhaps the metadata can be separate and hosted on multiple community platforms.
