FOLib is a comprehensive software supply chain platform designed for AI development, supporting over 23 programming languages and major AI model repositories. It offers proxying, synchronization, and private hosting for artifacts, aiming to streamline AI development workflows by providing intelligent querying, vulnerability remediation, and automated promotion through its AIAgent and MCP support.

How It Works

FOLib acts as a universal artifact repository manager, extending beyond traditional package managers to include AI model hubs like Huggingface and Ollama. Its architecture leverages a multi-dimensional data graph for metadata, security vulnerabilities, and dependency certificates, enabling intelligent features via its AIAgent. It supports cloud-native deployments with Docker V1/V2/OCI formats and features like layered transfer and resumable single-layer uploads, with WebDAV support for large file mounting.
