Download
Pull a model or dataset by name. Tensorseed checks the catalog signature and Chia anchor, then every file hash, before it calls a copy complete.
Tensorseed
Download, seed, and serve AI models you can verify.
Get the exact model. Prove you’re serving it.
Tensorseed distributes verified weights. It mirrors Hugging Face models and datasets and moves the bytes over BitTorrent v2 and hybrid torrents, plus HTTP and S3-compatible mirrors. A signed catalog, anchored on Chia, sits on top: find a revision, check its signature, and fetch the same files from more than one place. Every byte is checked.
Linux and Windows. No macOS build yet.
Seed
Share what you pulled and verified over BitTorrent v2, with HTTP webseeds so a pull still works when the swarm is quiet. One seeder per machine, shared by Desktop and the CLI.
Serve
Optionally launch an OpenAI compatible engine you install separately on a verified copy, and sign every response so clients can check which exact weights answered.
How it works
Signed catalog
Each revision publishes a signed head, an append-only delta, and periodic snapshots. Clients pin a publisher key, walk a hash chain, and reject rollback, forks, and stale heads. This project’s catalog is served from catalog.tensorseed.dev.
Anchored on Chia
Chia DataLayer is the source of truth for the catalog. Every revision is anchored on Chia mainnet first, and the signed file tree served over HTTPS is a cache that clients check against the chain.
BitTorrent v2
Model and dataset bytes are published as BitTorrent v2 or hybrid torrents, with HTTP webseeds. Operators can seed what they already verified.
HTTP and S3 mirrors
Named, repeatable provider blocks describe R2, B2, S3, and other HTTP mirrors. A signed mirrors.toml is
published with the catalog so clients can discover sources without a chain.
Status
Tensorseed is under active development. Version 0.3.1 is an early release and the first with Tensorseed Desktop, an app for Linux and Windows. Formats and commands may still change before 1.0.
The signed catalog is live at catalog.tensorseed.dev, at revision 4 with nine
official entries: the first model, TunedChaos/ChaosNexus_Tuned_v1-GGUF, plus eight models and datasets added in that
revision. Object bytes are mirrored under /t/ on mirror.tensorseed.dev. See the catalog README for the file layout, or browse it at explore.tensorseed.dev. To check it yourself, see Verify the catalog.
