Changed this week: 1 new quantized build on the Hub (14 in all).2026-10-24
Picked by rule from 9 tracked pieces: the lab's own post, the most shared, a field report, the latest.
RetNPhi is an experimental architecture that transforms Phi-3.5 into a byte-level language model incorporating RetNet-inspired mechanisms.
The 2 picks 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: 14 quantized builds and 100 Spaces.
Top Spaces running it: MaziyarPanahi/Phi-3.5-Vision ♥ 228 · TIGER-Lab/MEGA-Bench ♥ 51 · jiuhai/Florence-VL-8B ♥ 40 · maxiw/Phi-3.5-vision ♥ 31
Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 2.5 GB at INT4, 5.0 GB at FP8, 10 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 (2024-08-16), amber triangles are 3 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.
43 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.
