Daily download tracking since 28 Jul 2026

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

We snapshot downloads, likes and file inventories for the top 1,061 Hugging Face models every night at 04:00 UTC. That history powers trend charts, VRAM estimates and side-by-side comparisons you can't get from the model card.

Open-weights models on Hugging Face only — hosted APIs like GPT or Claude are a planned, separate section.
