About Hugging Bay

The Hugging Bay is an independent catalog of AI models. You can find a model for your computer, read its source and licence information, and follow a publisher link or download an available hosted file. A catalog listing alone does not mean we host the file or have verified that it will run on your computer. We are not affiliated with Hugging Face.

Check the file, not just the name

Exact bytes. A SHA-256 match establishes that two files have the same bytes. Compare your downloaded file with its published hash; a matching hash does not establish that the file is free of malicious code.

Publisher provenance. Check the original publisher, repository and pinned revision. Compare the file hash with the publisher's hash when one is available. A transfer receipt can establish byte integrity without establishing publisher provenance.

Scans. Read the per-file scan result and date when available. A missing result is unverified, and a clean result is limited to what that scanner checked at that time. Neither a website reputation score nor a hash match is a model-file scan.

Some model formats and loaders can execute code, including pickle-based files and custom repository code. Check the format and loader before running a file. See the model safety guide and verification guide.

For a dated example of published hash agreement, the safety guide links a pinned Qwen publisher record. Agreement between published hashes does not prove the bytes currently served by a download host or the safety of running them.

Licences are labels

We show licence information so you can check the publisher's terms. A missing or unknown licence stays labelled as unconfirmed; it does not by itself exclude a model or block an otherwise available download. Uncensored models are not excluded for being uncensored. A label does not grant permission to use or redistribute a file.

Read the licensing guide and the original terms for your intended use.
