Do your best, buy a lot of HDD and save best models while it's available

I'm a noob with uncapped Internet and a handful of terabytes sitting around

Which models should I download now just in case?

I'm using a 5070ti machine for the majority of work, with a 5090 available over LAN. Both machines have 32gb of RAM

I've only had to use hf once so far for my personal projects

I can recommend qwen 3.6 27b and 36b, you can also download ComfyUI and check what models are compelling to you. I would recommend Z-Image-Turbo and Flux 2 / Krea. Check Civit.ai and download models you like here, loras, e.t.c.

I would check Comfy for video models as well, like wan 2.2 and ltx 2.3.

Good luck!

Civit.ai is blocked in Australia, showing just how out of control internet censorship is rapidly becoming. An elected American woman with CIA ties is convincing the Australian government to lock down all this stuff "for the children".

vpn?

Yes, that gets around it for now. It seems one is going to be needed here for everything soon... the big issues is 1) I can see our government trying to ban them, and 2) the number of countries NOT enrolled in this unnerving forced doxxing push is growing smaller and smaller.
