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 (2026-03-18), amber triangles are 4 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.

Picked by rule from 8 tracked pieces: the lab's own post, the most shared, a field report, the latest.
The 1 pick above, plus these 7. 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.
No API provider serves it, so its downloads are people running it themselves: 5 quantized builds and 15 Spaces.

Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 2.8 GB at INT4, 5.7 GB at FP8, 11 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 (2026-03-18), amber triangles are 4 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.
6 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.

The multilingual model performs direct image-to-Markdown conversion and supports tasks like table extraction and document question answering.[1][2] It is released under the Apache 2.0 license and utilizes a vision-language architecture.[3][4]
Generated 2026-10-07 15:05 UTC by parasail-gemma-4-26b-a4b-it; each numeral points at the fact it rests on. Not a verdict.
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).
