Pirate Face is a decentralized, peer-to-peer layer for sovereign AI, where open models from Hugging Face are mirrored as checksum-verified torrents, held by a global swarm, ensuring permanence and independence from centralized hosting. This approach uses a web-seed, a plain HTTPS URL built into a torrent, to guarantee a download link, even with zero peers, and allows for seamless downloads from the swarm upon the original host's removal. Users can browse, download, and seed without an account, with optional account creation for managing claimed handles and tracking contributions. AI summary
