| Free tier | None of its own — it is a transparent reverse proxy. unit none; metered on unstated |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Per-object cap | 50 GB/file (50000000000 bytes) |
| Retention | not stated |
| Egress | Free and anonymous for reads; resolves to HF's own CDN. Not applicable as a storage delta — the bytes live on HF, which is already known and excluded as a discovery. |
| Identity | institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: cted straight to huggingface.co, not mirrored: probe POST /api/repos/create -> 308 Location: https://huggingface.co/api/repos/create. So the mirror gives you nothing new to store INT |

per-object-cap: inherits HF (50 GB/file at the time of the linked HF issues). Retention: inherits HF. Write path is redirected straight to huggingface.co, not mirrored: probe POST /api/repos/create -> 308 Location: https://huggingface.co/api/repos/create. So the mirror gives you nothing new to store INTO. |
| Binding | per-object-cap the per-object cap sets the shard size and therefore the object count; it bounds the total more tightly than any headline quota |
| Interface | rest, rclone rest |
| Tooling | Drop-in hostname swap: HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com for huggingface_hub / hf_transfer / rclone (rclone 'hf' backend points at it). |
| Composes with | Only as an egress accelerator for an HF dataset you already have — it is a CDN in front of a host already on the known list, not a new quota. Worth noting for the serving workload (500 GB-1 TiB/day): it is an extra free CDN edge for HF pulls from mainland China, and the provider place '高频非法盗链或恶意耗尽公用网络资源' (hotlinking to exhaust shared bandwidth) outside the allocation. |
| Reliability | Reads work; One probe returned a bare 200 with an HTML body from the LFS batch endpoint rather than JSON — parse the body, not the status. |
| Notes | None of its own — it is a transparent reverse proxy. |
| Evidence rung | reported One page read moves it to documented. |
