[D]: Are there any alternatives to Huggingface in the use of GPT-Neo?

Even though it is OpenSource, the code for the download process seems quite complicated and downloads it from their own Hub instead of EleutherAI itself.

This makes it quite intransparent to follow up, what actually happens beside the actual download for most people without professional code-audition experience.

I'm wondering, wether there are any simplistic alternatives, besides downloading and compiling the model yourself (which can include alot of mistakes as well).
