TensorTorrents is an open-source platform similar to CivitAI, designed to enhance user experience in sharing and downloading content. Our unique feature is the integration of torrent technology, enabling efficient and decentralized file sharing.
Alternatives are good! We love Civitai, however their model of keeping in their servers all the models is unsustainable. GenAI, and especially stable diffusion, was built on open source, on sharing, and we believe torrents are the best way to upload and share models. Instead of using costly servers that WE control, we let the community have control on the distribution.
Yes, yes, and yes. Tensortorrents was created in the fear that open source genAI becoming a pay-to-play hobby. We built the site so that it costs as little as possible to run, and we pledge to always keep the website free for users. No paywalls, for anything, ever.
You don't! We aim to be as user friendly as possible, therefore anyone can upload of download any torrent file.
Not at all! Using torrents is very easy. To create a torrent, just go to your favorite torrent application (transmission, qbittorrent, etc) and select "create torrent". To download torrent, just open the torrent file in your favorite application.
Torrents are perfectly legal. We ask users to only provide with tensor models in safetensor format, and to not upload anything illegal. We cannot be held responsible for the acts of our users, where they to break our rules.
Yes! Our goal is to facilitate the diffusion of checkpoints and other models for stable diffusion, therefore these models should work with the softwares you're used to.
We can't, but we'll happily feature the models that will!
Every type of model/checkpoints/etc is welcome on tensortorrents as long as they don't break the law.
