LLM distributions go decentralized with new torrent project

A new project, llama.garden, is enabling decentralized and faster distribution of large language models (LLMs) through torrents. The system enhances download speeds by using web seeds and optimizing for torrent clients like Transmission. This approach ensures the integrity of LLM files, as they are validated by the community and can be independently verified against Hugging Face commits. AI

IMPACT This project could streamline the process of downloading and verifying large language models, potentially accelerating adoption and experimentation within the AI community.

RANK_REASON This is a new tool/service for distributing LLMs, not a core AI release or research.
