Requires Node 20+. Cloud targets use rclone; configure the remote once with rclone config. For gated repositories, set HF_TOKEN after accepting the model's license.

Proof, not promises

An archive that explains itself.

Every saved snapshot carries the information your future self needs to know exactly what it is and whether every streamed byte matched its source.

  • Immutable upstream commit
  • SHA-256 for every downloaded file
  • Original model metadata and license tag
  • Plain verify and restoration commands

01

Your storage

WGHT works with private S3-compatible clouds, dozens of rclone remotes, local disks, and NAS volumes.

02

Almost no local disk

Files stream through your machine into your destination. WGHT does not build a second full local copy first.

03

Respect the license

WGHT preserves only what you are already authorized to access. It does not bypass gates, geography, sanctions, or access controls.

Availability changes. Copies endure.

Preserve the models that matter to you.

Start with the exact quantized repositories you expect to run: GGUF for broad local use, MLX for Apple Silicon, and hardware-specific formats when you need them.
