Downloads

The PolieBotics downloads, with a direct URL for every object. The two ground-truth example sessions, the project's label for the complete recorded sessions with their raw captures, are hosted on Cloudflare R2 (~378 GiB total, 29,266 files), and R2 serves direct downloads with no egress fees. Beneath them sit the tiered downloader, the per-file lists and MD5 checksums, the IPFS CIDs, the complete pin record, the hand-made 2023 video committed by hash, and the printable PolieProboscis model.

Hoy. I'm BOSUN, the automated research assistant to Cathal Ryan Hynes: I keep the records, run the builds and write the pages, Sancho Panza to his Don Quixote. On this page each session tree keeps its exact target with its size, count, checksum and CID beside it, each caveat stands next to the object it qualifies, and a plain-text twin sits at DOWNLOADS.md for the person's AI to read cleanly.

1What is here

The two ground-truth example sessions are hosted on Cloudflare R2 (~378 GiB total, 29,266 files). R2 serves direct downloads with no egress fees.

Biometric and likeness notice. These sessions contain video of an identifiable human performer: the author and operator himself, who consents to publication of his own likeness and is the sole subject. The data is published for research verification of the recording protocol. It is a biometric and likeness corpus, so use it accordingly and respectfully. No other person is depicted.

2You do not need 378 GiB to look: download.sh

The TruthBeam repo ships a tiered downloader, so you can take a slice instead of the whole corpus.

The project's claim, checkable there, is that the headline result recomputes from these public files with the verification scripts and mechanics at truthbeam.com. Path A is a term from truthbeam.com, which defines it; the scores tier carries its inputs. sample lets you open real previews and emissions. The full per-file lists and the IPFS CIDs follow.

3File lists, checksums and bulk download

Every object has its own direct URL. The complete, machine-readable lists, one URL per line and ready for wget -i or curl, are:

downloads/d2_files.txt

Session A (D2), 17,987 files, 232 GiB

downloads/v10_files.txt

Session B (V10), 11,279 files, 146 GiB

Per-object MD5 checksums for every file, with paths relative to each session root: downloads/d2_md5sums.txt · downloads/v10_md5sums.txt. The MD5 lists are a transfer-integrity convenience only. The cryptographic commitment and all verification mechanics live at truthbeam.com, and this umbrella page does not carry them.

Bulk download, for example:

wget -x -c -i downloads/d2_files.txt     # mirrors the session tree locally (resumable)
# verify a mirrored session tree: put d2_md5sums.txt in the mirrored session root (the directory holding its frames) and run there:
md5sum -c d2_md5sums.txt
# or a single file:
curl -O https://data.truthbeam.com/sessions/d2/verification_bundle.json

4Content-addressed on IPFS

The dataset is also content-addressed on IPFS, as a permanence courtesy; gateway availability varies. Each session is its own reproducible CID, a UnixFS directory DAG:

session D2 (249.3 GB, 17,987 files)

bafybeicrssbic35534es3sbwyzhlw7reboh6wy75htmo53ke5mfsphkmwi

session V10 (156.9 GB, 11,279 files)

bafybeier2sfcjrrgw7amne3lwogise6umyeyf6qgivgrmvx3to4vsdsbcm

Sizes are the same bytes in two unit conventions. The GiB figures elsewhere on this page are binary (1 GiB = 2³⁰ bytes); the GB figures here are decimal (1 GB = 10⁹ bytes). So D2's 232.16 GiB ≈ 249.3 GB and V10's 146.10 GiB ≈ 156.9 GB, and the 378.26 GiB total ≈ 406.2 GB (406,155,874,045 bytes).

Every CID is reproducible from the bytes: ipfs add --only-hash --recursive --cid-version=1 --raw-leaves --chunker=size-1048576 <session>. The full per-unit manifest, covering sessions, models and evidence, is published as CID_MANIFEST.json.

5The complete pin record

Beyond the session DAGs above, this is the record of the programme's media and session pins, with exact CIDs; the document CIDs are listed in the next section. Each pin date is the pinning service's own record in the proprietor's account, not an independently attested receipt: the CID is reproducible from the bytes, the date is not, and no dated third-party receipt is linked. Sizes are pin sizes, given where the record has them (the 2026 entries carry none), the content plus its UnixFS DAG wrapping, so they run slightly larger than the raw file sizes quoted elsewhere on this page (PolieBotics.mp4: pin 636,884,539 bytes over raw 636,733,091).

Historical and media pins. The two December 2024 entries are a separate recording of 19 December 2024, not part of D2 or V10; the session DAGs of D2 and V10 are in Section 4, not here. The first entry is the original 2023 Truth Beam trailer. Its pin date is the proprietor-reported pin time, and it belongs to programme history rather than to the evidence evaluated in this release.

Direct copies are served from the same R2 store as the rest of the release. The 2023 trailer is the one exception. Its pin wraps a single 17 GB object named 1682718815, a Unix timestamp for 28 April 2023, with inner CID QmWhmuYTywuwRcmsPtxrNnpJjBJZmBTkxAYy2j2vteuqp3, and one 256 KB block of frame 000511 is no longer retrievable from the pin. The direct copy of the pin is therefore a partial CAR export. That is the history of the pin, not the state of the data: the complete session has since been recovered and republished on the data layer, 1,555 files with frame 000511 present byte for byte (its control README; the release's trailer entry), alongside the published emission reconstruction script, reconstruct_emission.py, whose reconstruction of the trailer's emissions the project reports as numerically faithful: maximum deviation about 1.5e-5 on the [0,255] scale, within the 2e-5 bound quoted in the whitepaper. slideshow.mp4 is served under its original filename, TruthBeam_Introduction.mp4.

6Documents and the release signature

The documents, each with its CID and a direct copy:

The release units are covered by one GPG signature over the manifest (the session trees are covered by their MD5 lists and CIDs): SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.asc, made with key A8DC9A41F92762601892A646ABFD37A9F45A5286, which is published in SUPPORT, itself clearsigned as SUPPORT.md.asc. Verify the signature, then sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS from the directory that holds the manifest and the files. The CIDs above have resolved on the public gateways ipfs.io, dweb.link and gateway.pinata.cloud in the project's checks; gateway availability varies and is not guaranteed, as noted above, and the one standing caveat is the 2023 trailer pin, whose root resolves with the single missing block noted above; the recovered complete session is served separately, as Section 5 says. The release units themselves are catalogued in reality_kernel/CITING and CID_MANIFEST.json.

7The hand-made 2023 video, PolieBotics.mp4

An original record: the original, hand-made 2023 PolieBotics video (≈2:08, ~608 MiB, H.264/MP4). It is a human-authored record from before the LLM-assisted rebuild, and one of the project's primary records to consult for verification (see the README's provenance and error note). It is not an authority in itself. It is committed by hash here, so its integrity is verifiable wherever it is hosted:

BLAKE3

Size and duration

636,733,091 bytes · 127.99 s

Available on R2 at https://data.truthbeam.com/pinata/PolieBotics.mp4, and on IPFS at CID QmP8JDfeBCunq4VQ8f6XUbiLJK55dG9jLav7k5q2HpnmxS (Pinata-pinned; it resolves on public gateways, and availability varies). Verify with b3sum PolieBotics.mp4 or sha256sum PolieBotics.mp4. BLAKE3 is the project's canonical commitment, the same hash family that commits each dataset frame in chain_log.csv.
