there's metadata in a GGUF (as can be seen when loading one into llama-server with verbose level 4) but it doesn't appear to show what the expected sha256 of the file is.
replyWell that would not work as the metadata is also part of the sha, and if you have a sha predictably contain or hash to itself you have a bad hashing algorithm. (Unless of course you mean sha of the weigths and not the gguf itself)
replyyou can just hash the metadata masking out the hash as all zeroes or anything similar to get around that, like header checksums that ostensibly include themselves
