Fake website topic

[henk717]

Here is a post with the current fake websites we know about:

kobold-ai,com: Redirects to a chatbot site called CrushOn that nobody should use, they are notorious for putting up fake websites.
koboldcpp,com: Contains inaccurate information about KoboldCpp and has a fake KoboldCpp download that at the time of writing is a copy of older source code (That may or may not also include malware or altered files) and outright malicious downloads / ads if you don't have adblock.
koboldcpp,org: At the time of writing another site with inaccurate information that currently links to the wrong download.
koboldcpp,store: Site with wrong information that pretends we are a google play app (We don't have one). Currently the link to the play store app is hallucinated by AI but if you notice someone place a malicious app there please let us know.

Our real websites:
koboldcpp.net - The only official website for KoboldCpp
koboldai.com - Our website for information about KoboldAI and its software. We could use help maintaining it, if you'd like to help contribute to GitHub - henk717/koboldai.com: KoboldAI Website · GitHub

koboldai.net - This domain is used for online instances of things, such as KoboldAI Lite (lite.koboldai.net) or community affiliated forks such as esolite.koboldai.net

koboldai.org - Our URL shortlink domain, for example https://koboldai.org/cpp for KoboldCpp downloads, https://koboldai.org/discord for our Discord community and https://koboldai.org/colab for the KoboldCpp colab.

Domains we own (to prevent scam domains) but don't currently use:

koboldcpp.net

kobold-ai.net

kobold-ai.org

koboldcpp.sh

Honorable Mention

kobold.ai - German company with the same name as us. We both started our efforts around the same time and I don't think either one was aware of each other at the time. While they are the only non-malicious one they have nothing to do with us and serve an entirely different purpose.

Oct 2026 Update: We now have an official KoboldCpp community website located at https://koboldcpp.net
