ModelScope

Alibaba's domestic open-source model and dataset community, roughly a Chinese counterpart to Hugging Face.

ModelScope (魔搭社区) is an open-source model platform launched by Alibaba in 2022 that hosts model weights, datasets, and online demos. It is reliably accessible from within China, and Chinese-made models such as the Qwen series are usually released here in sync with Hugging Face. It provides a modelscope Python library and command-line tool for downloading models directly, along with companion fine-tuning frameworks such as ms-swift. For students in China working on embodied AI, ModelScope and the Hugging Face mirror are the two go-to routes for downloading VLM backbones or robotics datasets.

ExampleRunning modelscope download --model Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct fetches the Qwen2.5-VL weights over a domestic Chinese connection, for use as a VLA's vision-language backbone.
