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 (2024-05-15), amber triangles are 7 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.

Changed this week: 1 new quantized build on the Hub (27 in all).2026-10-24
Picked by rule from 16 tracked pieces: the lab's own post, the most shared, a field report, the latest.
DeepSeek-V2-Lite base, a 15.7B total / 2.4B active parameter model trained on 5.7T tokens, scores 0.0% on AIME 2024 and 2025 due to non-termination at 16k tokens.
The 3 picks above, plus these 13. 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: 27 quantized builds and 16 Spaces.
Top Spaces running it: Justinrune/LLaMA-Factory ♥ 12 · mlanvvs/fitcheck ♥ 2 · luancy1208/CHIP ♥ 1
Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 9.4 GB at INT4, 19 GB at FP8, 38 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache. Every expert must be resident, so total parameters count.

Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.
Teal is the weights (2024-05-15), amber triangles are 7 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.
62 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.

Weights-only memory for DeepSeek-V2-Lite: params × bytes/param × 1.2 overhead. KV cache and activations are extra. How this is computed.

Weights only (params × bytes/param × 1.2 overhead); KV cache and activations extra. MoE: all experts must be resident, so total parameters count.

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).
