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 (2024-10-12), amber triangles are 9 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.

Picked by rule from 33 tracked pieces: the lab's own post, the most shared, a field report, the latest.
g1 is an experimental prototype using prompting strategies to improve Llama-3.1-70b reasoning capabilities through o1-like chains.
ntransformer is a C++/CUDA inference engine that runs Llama 70B on a single RTX 3090 using a 3-tier adaptive caching system with VRAM-resident layers, pinned RAM, and NVMe/mmap fallback.
The 3 picks above, plus these 22. 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; 45 quantized builds for local use; a big base for builders (119 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).
Top Spaces running it: pliny-the-prompter/obliteratus ♥ 621 · AiActivity/AI-Assistant ♥ 21 · ZongqianLi/ReasonGraph ♥ 14 · hacktogone/uncensored-chat ♥ 6
Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 42 GB at INT4, 85 GB at FP8, 169 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

164 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.

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).
