Methodology
Most downloaded:
- • Sorted by real HuggingFace downloads (last 30 days)
- • Straight from the HF API, no estimate
- • Only models with a public HF repo (open weights)
Rising:
- • Released <90 days, sorted by real HF likes
- • Slight boost for "Underrated"-flagged models
HF figures are refreshed daily via cron. Proprietary models (GPT, Claude, Gemini) are intentionally absent — there's no public usage figure for them.
