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 (2024-09-17), amber triangles are 5 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; heavily run locally (350 quantized builds); a big base for builders (3,764 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).
Top Spaces running it: pliny-the-prompter/obliteratus ♥ 621 · cvachet/pdf-chatbot ♥ 382 · embedl/hfviewer ♥ 181 · build-small-hackathon/llm-cinema ♥ 110
Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 0.9 GB at INT4, 1.9 GB at FP8, 3.7 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.
Teal is the weights (2024-09-17), amber triangles are 5 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.
4,114 derivatives on the Hub. Which build to run, by runtime: the most downloaded in each class.
From the Hugging Face model tree; quantized builds in teal, fine-tunes, merges and adapters in greys.
Everything else, folded: the full tables, every source.
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.

Ranked by source signals (HN, Lobsters, authority domains, official posts) and recency. Summaries are generated from a stored copy of the article text; every sentence cites a span of that text, and nothing is shown that failed the citation check.
arXiv links found in the model card and its tags. "Peer-reviewed" is shown only with evidence: a published venue in OpenAlex (measured) or the authors' own journal reference on arXiv (reported).
