The story so far
Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.
Most coverage came in the first two weeks
Teal is the weights (2024-07-24), amber triangles are 10 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.

Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.
Served by 1 API provider; 15 quantized builds for local use; a big base for builders (221 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).
Top Spaces running it: Raiff1982/Codette-Reasoning-Demo ♥ 1
Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 4.8 GB at INT4, 9.6 GB at FP8, 19 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

Labels are evidence, not verdicts: measured a third-party leaderboard row for this model; author-reported a number the model author published in the card or eval files; structural a deterministic signal from the name, config or chat template, or a decision-model estimate. Each chip links to its source. All use cases.
