Hugging BayGet the app

Open a model from the website

A model page can open The Hugging Bay with a specific GGUF file pinned. The app checks that file hash and size against the live catalog before it downloads or loads anything.

  1. On the model page, choose the action that opens the desktop app when it is installed.
  2. Read the confirm screen. It shows the model, file, size and fit estimate.
  3. If the live file hash or size no longer matches the link, the app stops and offers View model page instead of downloading.
  4. When the pin still matches, choose Download and chat or Load and chat. The app prepares that exact file.
Confirm screen before download and chat from a website link.
