Need models? List of where to download text models.

[Hamuki]

If you are new to running local models, you might wonder where you should be getting your models from.

Below here is a list of sites where you can download models to run locally.

WARNING! Do not blindly trust downloads from any sites.
Always make sure to verify the authenticity of the uploader, check comments on the models and skip a model if you have any doubts.

You can download text models here:

• Huggingface.co - The biggest model hub for all types of local models.
• Ollama Library - A big model library, but without comments or community features.
• Modelscope.cn - A looks like a chinese clone of Huggingface.
• LMstudio.ai - A simple model library with easy download function.

These are some of the biggest and most popular model hubs.
I personally recommend that you use Huggingface, as it contains the most models and a very active community that tests and provides feedback on new models.

If you know any other model hubs, please post them below
