About
The public index for AI model torrents
drforbin.ai catalogs magnet links for open-weight AI models — language models, diffusion models, speech models, embeddings — with the technical metadata that matters: quantization, parameter count, context length, exact file size, license, and a link to the official model card.
Every listing is reviewed before it goes live. Only models whose licenses permit redistribution of the weights are accepted. We index; we never host.
The name
Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) imagined a superintelligence locked in a mountain, hoarding its power. Dr. Forbin built it. We borrowed his name and inverted the premise: the weights that power intelligence belong in as many hands, on as many disks, in as many countries as possible. Distribution is the safeguard.
Principles
- Legality and trust first. Open licenses only, index-only operation, and a fast, documented [takedown process](/legal/takedown/).
- Magnets and infohashes are first-class. Filenames lie; content addresses don't.
- Metadata quality over listing volume. A listing you can't evaluate is noise.
- Official releases beat mirrors. We badge creator-submitted magnets and would rather link yours than anyone's re-up.
