Click the big Download button on any seeded model and you'll get a file that is... suspiciously small. That's deliberate.
PITF is a demo, and shipping real multi-gigabyte weights would be neither fast nor free. So every seeded file is a small placeholder stub that says exactly what it is:
PITF placeholder weights for pitf-labs/knockout-7b (model.safetensors).
This demo serves small stub files instead of real weights.
The one exception: README.md is always real — it's the actual model card,
served as text/markdown.
Because the mechanics are the point. Download links, the download counter, file tables, README rendering — all of it works exactly as it would with real weights. When you publish a model, your files are written to storage and served back to you on the spot.
Placeholder weights, real plumbing. 🥊
