hali separates discovery, transfer, and attribution into a practical system: web users discover models through a curated registry, teams share efficiently on LAN, and publishers build reputation through signed metadata.
For anyone downloading from the web
Search on hali.network, copy magnet, open in any BitTorrent client.
Internet-distributed model delivery with Hugging Face webseed support.
Why this exists: Keeps consumption simple: discovery on the registry, transfer on standard torrent tooling.
For teams, labs, and office networks
Use hali CLI to pull from Hugging Face or local peers, then seed locally.
Fast local reuse and lower repeated WAN bandwidth costs.
Why this exists: Turns one upstream fetch into many local downloads without requiring central infrastructure.
For model publishers and maintainers
Download via hali with telemetry enabled to publish metadata to the registry.
Discoverable listings with publisher attribution and trust signals.
Why this exists: Maintains provenance and quality controls while avoiding manual publish workflows.
Signed manifests: publisher keys use Ed25519, with canonical JSON and SHA-256 digest verification.
Identity: model identity is canonicalized by infohash (v2 preferred, v1 supported).
Trust scoring: weighted blend of format validity, publisher reputation, download success, and maturity; low-score entries are hidden.
Publication model: registry publication occurs via telemetry-enabled metadata flow.
