The permanence layer for sovereign AI.

Pirate Face is decentralized infrastructure for sovereign AI. Every open model is mirrored from Hugging Face as a torrent, held peer-to-peer instead of by a single company.

Why models should never die →

Censorship-resistant

Every model is a torrent that also downloads straight from Hugging Face. The day it's gone, the swarm keeps it alive - there's no single host to shut down.

Every file carries its official Hugging Face SHA-256 - so you verify every byte. Download it anywhere and the hash still has to match: the real weights, never a tampered copy.

What is Pirate Face?A decentralized, peer-to-peer layer for sovereign AI. Open models from Hugging Face become checksum-verified torrents, held by a global swarm so they survive any single host taking them down. The goal is permanence for open-source AI.

Do I need an account to use Pirate Face?No. You can browse, download, and seed without an account.

Claiming is optional. A public claim reserves your Pirate Face handle and helps the network spread. Only your first eligible handle earns welcome points.

Hugging Face creator claims require verification. To receive the badge for a current Hugging Face username or organization, you must verify the matching Hugging Face account. Until then, the handle is only reserved and does not prove identity.

Direct publishing is planned. Accounts will eventually support publishing and managing models directly on Pirate Face, without first uploading them to Hugging Face. That is not live yet.

Today, submitting a model requires a Hugging Face account and the model must already be on Hugging Face.

Accounts also support upcoming community benefits. See account benefits.

Why create a Pirate Face account?An account gives you a place to manage your claimed handles and track your contributions. Claiming reserves a public handle; verifying the matching Hugging Face identity adds the creator badge and helps prevent impersonation.

Pirate Face is preparing community benefits for account holders, including free compute credits and exclusive model releases.

You can browse, download and seed without an account.

Why use Hugging Face verification if the goal is independence from centralized hosting?Hugging Face verification confirms that someone claiming a creator's handle controls the matching HF account or organization. It helps prevent impersonation and preserves attribution as models spread beyond their original host.
