 The system learns each environment locally using spiking neural networks that adapt in under 30 seconds, with multi-frequency mesh scanning across 6 WiFi channels that uses your neighbors' routers as free radar illuminators. Every measurement is cryptographically attested via an Ed25519 witness chain.
 
-RuView **ships the full training pipeline for camera-free 17-keypoint pose estimation (WiFlow + AETHER + MERIDIAN heads)** — based on the original *DensePose From WiFi* research at Carnegie Mellon University. **What ships today is the inference and training infrastructure; pretrained pose weights are not yet released** (tracked in [#509](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/issues/509)). With no `.rvf` model loaded, the sensing server drives the on-screen skeleton from signal-based heuristics (amplitude variance, motion-band power), not learned keypoint inference. Camera-supervised fine-tune targets **35%+ PCK@20** ([ADR-079](docs/adr/ADR-079-camera-supervised-pose-finetune.md)) — pipeline implemented, P7–P9 (data collection + training + eval) are `Pending`.
+RuView **ships pretrained CSI weights on Hugging Face** at [`ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained`](https://huggingface.co/ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained) — a self-supervised contrastive CSI encoder (128-dim embeddings, 12.2M training steps, 60K frames) + a presence-detection head reporting 100% accuracy on the validation set + per-node LoRA adapters. Models are released as `.safetensors`, 4-bit/8-bit/2-bit quantized `.bin` (4 KB–16 KB), and a JSONL RVF container. The Python training and evaluation tooling consumes these today via `safetensors`. **Pending wiring**: the sensing-server's `--model` flag still expects binary RVF, so live-server consumption of the JSONL bundle is gated on a JSONL adapter (or a re-publish in binary RVF) — see [Pretrained model on Hugging Face](#-pretrained-model-on-hugging-face) below for the workaround. **Not yet released**: a 17-keypoint pose-estimation model — training pipeline is implemented (WiFlow + AETHER + MERIDIAN heads) but camera-supervised fine-tune phases P7–P9 of [ADR-079](docs/adr/ADR-079-camera-supervised-pose-finetune.md) are `Pending`, tracked in [#509](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView/issues/509). The live sensing server therefore drives the on-screen output from signal-based DSP heuristics today.

 ## 🔬 How It Works
 
 WiFi routers flood every room with radio waves. When a person moves — or even breathes — those waves scatter differently. WiFi DensePose reads that scattering pattern and reconstructs what happened:

+## Loading the Pretrained Model from Hugging Face
+
+A pretrained CSI encoder + presence-detection head is published on Hugging Face at [`ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained`](https://huggingface.co/ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained). It was trained on 60,630 frames / 610,615 contrastive triplets (12.2M steps, final loss 0.065) and reports 100% presence accuracy and ~164k embeddings/sec on an Apple M4 Pro.
+
+What it ships (and what it does not):
+
+| Capability | Status |
+|------------|--------|
+| Presence detection (occupied / empty) | ✅ Trained head — 100% accuracy on validation |
+| 128-dim CSI embeddings (re-ID, similarity, downstream training) | ✅ Trained encoder |
+| Single-person breathing / heart-rate | ⚠️ Server still uses heuristic DSP — model does not replace this yet |
+| 17-keypoint full-body pose | 🔬 No keypoint weights shipped yet — pose pipeline runs but without a learned head |
+
+### Download
+
+```bash
+pip install huggingface_hub
+huggingface-cli download ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained \
+    --local-dir models/wifi-densepose-pretrained
+```
+
+The download yields a small set of files (the `.rvf.jsonl` is the canonical container the sensing server reads):
+
+```
+models/wifi-densepose-pretrained/
+  model.rvf.jsonl       # RVF container (encoder + presence head + lora)
+  model.safetensors     # 48 KB — same encoder weights, safetensors format
+  model-q4.bin          # 8 KB — recommended quantization for edge
+  presence-head.json    # presence classifier head
+  config.json           # sona-lora rank=8 alpha=16, target encoder + task_heads
+```
+
+### Using the weights
+
+The HF artifact is in **JSONL RVF** format (one JSON object per line: `metadata`, `encoder`, `lora`). What you can do with it today:
+
+| Consumer | Format it reads | Status |
+|----------|-----------------|--------|
+| Python / PyTorch training pipeline | `model.safetensors` | ✅ Works — load with `safetensors.torch.load_file` |
+| RVF JSONL inspection / re-export | `model.rvf.jsonl` | ✅ Works — plain JSONL, parse line-by-line |
+| Sensing-server `--model <PATH>` flag | binary RVF (`RVFS` magic) | ⚠️ Does **not** accept the JSONL file yet — see gap below |
+
+**Known gap (tracked):** `v2/crates/wifi-densepose-sensing-server/src/rvf_container.rs` only parses the binary RVF segment format (magic `0x52564653`). Pointing `--model` at `model.rvf.jsonl` causes the progressive loader to error with `invalid magic at offset 0: expected 0x52564653, got 0x7974227B` (`0x7974227B` is the ASCII bytes `{"ty…` from the JSONL header), and the live pipeline degrades to null output rather than falling back to heuristic mode. Until a JSONL adapter lands (or the model is re-published as binary RVF), run the sensing-server **without** `--model` and consume the HF weights from Python or the training pipeline.
+
+```bash
+# Works today — Python side (training, evaluation, embedding extraction):
+python -c "
+from safetensors.torch import load_file
+state = load_file('models/wifi-densepose-pretrained/model.safetensors')
+print({k: tuple(v.shape) for k, v in state.items()})
+"
+
+# Sensing server — run heuristic for now:
+cargo run -p wifi-densepose-sensing-server --release -- \
+    --source esp32 --udp-port 5005 --http-port 3000
+```
+
+See [RVF Model Containers](#rvf-model-containers) for the binary format the loader expects, and [Training a Model](#training-a-model) for using the encoder as a starting point for environment-specific fine-tuning.

 ## Adaptive Classifier
 
 The adaptive classifier (ADR-048) learns your environment's specific WiFi signal patterns from labeled recordings. It replaces static threshold-based classification with a trained logistic regression model that uses 15 features (7 server-computed + 8 subcarrier-derived statistics).
