We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

How exactly do you backup an AI model anyway? How big is an AI model? Is it just a big zip file? ????

Anywhere from 1 to several hundred GB. Quantized (compressed), the most popular models are 8-40gb each. LORAs are a lot smaller, but full models take up a lot of space.
