It becomes far more useful for making very large files generated from code (e.g. NN weights) easily downloadable without having to pay huge sums to storage providers ($600 to AWS for arxiv.org for example) - with IPFS it's completely FREE, because everyone with the file is using it and hosting it. Additionally capabilities can be added in a Makefile form to use IPFS as the cache to ensure that a script that takes 3 months on a HPC/supercomputer to make a 3MB file only has to grab the file in a few seconds, even if not yet computed locally (e.g. you just computed it at work and do `git pull && ipfsmake`).
