Introduction

Welcome to MatrixHub—an open-source, self-hosted AI model registry engineered for large-scale enterprise inference. It serves as a drop-in private replacement for Hugging Face, purpose-built to accelerate vLLM and SGLang workloads.

Why MatrixHub?​

MatrixHub streamlines the transition from public model hubs to production-grade infrastructure:

🚀 Zero-Wait Distribution​

Eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks with a "Pull-once, serve-all" cache, enabling 10Gbps+ speeds across 100+ GPU nodes simultaneously.

🔐 Air-Gapped Delivery​

Securely ferry models into isolated networks while maintaining a native HF_ENDPOINT experience for researchers—no internet required.

📦 Private AI Model Registry​

Centralize fine-tuned weights with Tag locking and CI/CD integration to guarantee absolute consistency from development to production.

🌍 Global Multi-Region Sync​

Automate asynchronous, resumable replication between data centers for high availability and low-latency local access.

Core Features​

🚀 High-Performance Distribution​

  • Transparent HF Proxy: Switch to private hosting with zero code changes by simply redirecting your endpoint.
  • On-Demand Caching: Automatically localizes public models upon the first request to slash redundant traffic.
  • Inference Native: Native support for P2P distribution, OCI artifacts, and NetLoader for direct-to-GPU weight streaming.

🛡️ Enterprise Governance & Security​

  • RBAC & Multi-Tenancy: Project-based isolation with granular permissions and seamless LDAP/SSO integration.
  • Audit & Compliance: Full traceability with comprehensive logs for every upload, download, and configuration change.
  • Integrity Protection: Built-in malware scanning and content signing to ensure models remain untampered.

🌍 Scalable Infrastructure​

  • Storage Agnostic: Compatible with local file systems, NFS, and S3-compatible backends (MinIO, AWS, etc.).
  • Reliable Replication: Policy-driven, chunked transfers ensure data consistency even over unstable global networks.
  • Cloud-Native Design: Optimized for Kubernetes with official Helm charts and horizontal scaling capabilities.

Key Use Cases​

1. Intranet Inference Acceleration​

Accelerate model distribution across internal GPU clusters with intelligent caching that turns multiple downloads into a single fetch.

2. Air-Gapped Environments​

Deploy models in isolated networks (government, defense, finance) with secure transport and full data residency guarantees.

3. Enterprise Asset Management​

Manage enterprise model versions with CI/CD integration, ensuring training → testing → production consistency.

4. Multi-Region Sync​

Replicate models across global data centers with automatic resumption on network interruptions.

Getting Started​

MatrixHub is easy to deploy using Docker Compose or Kubernetes. The entire infrastructure is open source and free for the community.
