Picked by rule from 47 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.
Live hosted endpoints, cheapest first, USD per million tokens. Ties break on output price, then provider name.

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 (336 quantized builds); a big base for builders (2,929 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).
Top Spaces running it: fancyfeast/joy-caption-pre-alpha ♥ 1,477 · gokaygokay/FLUX-Prompt-Generator ♥ 1,400 · pliny-the-prompter/obliteratus ♥ 621 · OpenEvals/evaluation-guidebook ♥ 367
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.

Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.
Teal is the weights (2024-07-14), amber triangles are 10 dated articles (each links to it).
3,265 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.
