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 (2025-01-26), amber triangles are 6 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.

Picked by rule from 29 tracked pieces: the lab's own post, the most shared, a field report, the latest.
The 2 picks above, plus these 23. Top is the radar's score: discussion, source authority and the lab's own posts, fading with age.

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 (98 quantized builds); a big base for builders (1,195 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).
Top Spaces running it: alexnasa/Wan2.2-Animate-ZEROGPU ♥ 365 · multimodalart/self-forcing ♥ 333 · alexnasa/Chain-of-Zoom ♥ 320 · fffiloni/Meigen-MultiTalk ♥ 276
Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 2.3 GB at INT4, 4.5 GB at FP8, 9.0 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 (2025-01-26), amber triangles are 6 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.
1,293 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).
