Daily download tracking since 28 Jul 2026

Which AI models are actually winning — measured daily, not guessed.

Every night we snapshot downloads, likes and file inventories for the top 1,213 open-weights models on Hugging Face at 04:00 UTC, and prices, context windows and benchmark indices for 210 API-only models via OpenRouter. That history powers trend charts, VRAM estimates, API cost and side-by-side comparisons you can't get from a model card.

Every model is labelled: open weights you can self-host, or API-only (GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok…).
