Fastest upload paths for China | Generated by AI
Here’s the situation and options:
Model: 475MB model.safetensors + 3.4MB tokenizer = ~478MB total. Target: lzwjava/sec-edgar-gpt-124m on HuggingFace.
Why it’s slow from China: HuggingFace CDN (Cloudflare) is throttled/blocked by some Chinese ISPs. Upload stalls mid-transfer. GCS to HF direct transfer also requires fast US-EU connectivity.
Ranked options (best → worst):
Option 1: AMD Dev Cloud (Atlanta) as relay — FASTEST
You have ssh amd-cloud (MI300X in Atlanta). US→HuggingFace is fast. Two sub-options:
a) Rsync files from Mac to AMD, then upload to HF from AMD b) Download from GCS on AMD, then upload to HF
Option 2: hf-mirror.com — China-friendly
HuggingFace’s official China mirror. huggingface-cli can be configured to use it.
Option 3: Your DMIT proxy (LA)
Route huggingface-cli upload through hysteria2/DMIT proxy via LA. US-located proxy should be fast to HF.
Let me try the fastest: upload directly from Mac using your DMIT proxy, since you already have it running:
