I built Model Pulse: daily download history for every model on the Hub 📈
A model page tells you its downloads for the last 30 days, but not how it got there. Model Pulse rebuilds the day-by-day history for 1.6M models, back to July 2024, from the daily snapshots in @cfahlgren1's hub-stats dataset.
A few things the data shows: - The Hub now serves ~100M model downloads a day, up from ~62M a year ago - Vision-language models grew about 7x in that year, to 10.7M downloads a day - 37% of Qwen3-8B's monthly downloads go to its 6,283 quantizations, fine-tunes and merges, not to the original
What you can do with it: - Open any model, e.g. tardellirs/model-pulse - Compare up to five models on one chart - Browse weekly rankings: fastest growing, new this month, biggest families, top organizations - Add a live badge to your model card (monthly downloads, sparkline and weekly trend)
