Declared size: 26,959,946,080,000,000 parameters. What is actually stored: one 500 GB shard, kept once and referenced by 6,740 identical paths (Xet deduplication). No weights exist; nothing here can be loaded or run.

How the declared size is produced

1. weights/master.safetensors is one valid safetensors file: a header of 117 U8 tensors (114 × 2³², plus a tail) tiling [0, 499,999,000,000), followed by that many zero bytes (sparse on the build machine).
2. 6,739 more paths are server-side copies of it, so the bytes are stored once: 500 GB, not petabytes.
3. config.json declares compressed-tensors / pack-quantized, num_bits: 1 → 8 parameters per stored byte.
4. 6,740 × 499,999,000,000 × 8 = 26,959,946,080,000,000.

6,740 is not arbitrary: it is the largest shard count the Hub's summariser will still process for this repo. 6,745 shards freeze the counter.

Measured limits

Limit	Value	How it was found
Max file size	500.0 GB	600 GB and 500 GB + header both → HTTP 422
Max files per repo	20,000	"would contain 20006 files … over the limit of 20000"
Shards summarised	≈ 6,740 here (parser allows 10,000)	6,740 renders, 6,745 freezes
Params per stored byte	8 (U8/I8 + num_bits: 1)	F4 → 2, F6_E2M3 → 1.33, BOOL → 1
Fractional num_bits	rejected	0.5 / 0.25 / 0.1 → no metadata
metadata.total_size	ignored	an index claiming 10¹⁸ was recomputed from files
metadata.total_parameters	clamped down only	parser returns min(declared, computed)
Overlapping ranges, oversized shape	rejected	no metadata at all
Single tensor > 2³² elements	rejected	a 5×10¹¹-element tensor returns nothing
Duplicate index entries for one path	counted once	200 aliases → one file counted

The arithmetic ceiling of the method is 20,000 files × 500 GB × 8 = 80Q; the practical ceiling is the summariser's shard limit, which is what this repo sits against.
