I already got a working Xet server with fully efficient `hf upload/hf download` functionality. I think I don't need much honestly than to mirror/proxy all the models and datasets I need and get some simple repo clones to exist. If there's interest I'll post an article on how to not let ONE company keep access to models.

Isn’t there some Chinese site hosting all the models?

This is a silly take. It will grow. There are competitors.
