Pirate Face only lists models that anyone is allowed to share. Here is what that means in practice.
A model is listed only if its license lets anyone redistribute it: MIT, Apache-2.0, WTFPL, and OpenMDW-1.1. Gemma, LFM, Muse, Qwen Community, Qwen3.8-Max, Mistral Ecosystem, Kimi K3.1-Pro, Llama 3.3, and Qwen Research models are listed too. Their terms bind everyone who gets a copy, so their magnet appears only after you sign in and accept the terms, which summarise each license's limits (for example commercial-use or research-only restrictions). Where a license requires its license file in every copy, the torrent must include it. Other exceptions are rare and approved individually.
Every torrent is tied to a specific repository and revision. When the model is on Hugging Face, every file checksum in the torrent must match that revision. A torrent may contain only some of the model's files. You can check the checksums yourself on each model page.
If the model is on Hugging Face, the check is automatic: the revision must exist, its license on Hugging Face must match the one submitted, and every submitted file checksum must match it. Matching submissions appear on the site right away. Others are rejected with the reason, so the submitter can fix them.
Models that are no longer on Hugging Face stay pending until we have reviewed the license, the source, and the checksums. Only then do they appear on the site.
Only submit or seed files you are allowed to redistribute. See the submission terms.
