It is very clearly a fake:

This is almost certainly fake. A few days ago there was supposedly a Fable 5 checkpoint "up for sale on a deep web forum", now there is supposedly a Mythos-class model leaked on Hugging Face. This is just a way to get less knowledgeable people to run code (as in malware) on their machines.

Back in the day people used to upload new movies on public torrent sites that turned out to be something completely different in order to troll people. This is probably the same.

If not, this is one hell of a way to save their IPO.

Not a lawyer, but I don't see what protection they have other than trade secrets since the weights are just data and data can't be copyrighted.

Link https://huggingface.co/burner22/numbat, there is no malware concern if only safetensors is downloaded.

Looks pretty legit to me at first. May be hard to run, I don't have 8TB of RAM.

The log line is also interesting.

I'm still doubting it as legit.
