A large file, specifically a model file stored using Xet, is available for download, but its size of 6.34 GB prevents it from being displayed directly. The article provides details about the file's SHA256 hash and pointer size, as well as an explanation of how Xet manages large files within Git by splitting them into chunks for efficient handling.
Large files pose significant challenges for Git, leading to the introduction of Git LFS in 2015 to manage them. However, with the recent advancements in Git's partial clone feature and the development of large object promisors, there is a promising alternative that may eventually replace Git LFS, reducing complexity and costs for users. The Git project is actively working towards a future where handling large files becomes more efficient and less burdensome.
