Where it's used

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: 21 quantized builds and 3 Spaces.

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 (2025-07-25), amber triangles are 10 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.

What people built on it

37 derivatives on the Hub. Which build to run, by runtime: the most downloaded in each class.

37 derivatives on the Hub, most of them quantized

Meta releases Llama 3.2, featuring small and medium-sized vision LLMs (11B and 90B) alongside lightweight text-only models (1B and 3B) designed for edge and mobile devices. The 11B and 90B models serve as drop-in replacements for their corresponding text model equivalents while the 1B and 3B models support a context length of 128K tokens and are enabled on day one for Qualcomm and MediaTek hardware. Both pre-trained and aligned vision models are available for fine-tuning using torchtune and local deployment via torchchat, with weights based on BFloat16 numerics.written, reviewed, cited
  • The 11B and 90B vision models require an entirely new model architecture that supports image reasoning.
  • Developers can keep all text-only capabilities intact because the adapter training intentionally did not update the language-model parameters.
  • The 1B and 3B models are created by using structured pruning in a single shot manner from the Llama 3.1 8B.

An educational implementation of Llama 3 performs the model one matrix multiplication at a time using tiktoken for tokenization. The architecture includes 32 transformer layers, 32 attention heads, and a rope_theta of 500000.0, loading weights directly from the official Meta file. Attention weights are bundled together to help parallelize attention head multiplication rather than to reduce computation.written, reviewed, cited
  • The implementation does not include a BPE tokenizer, requiring users to download an external library for tokenization.
  • The model configuration specifies a norm_eps value of 1e-05 to prevent division by zero during RMS normalization.
  • Key weight matrices are shared across four attention heads to reduce the total number of computations required.

Secret-llama is an entirely-in-browser LLM chatbot powered by the webllm inference engine that runs fully private without needing a server. It supports models like Llama 3 and Mistral, ranging in size from 600MB to 4.3GB, requiring WebGPU support. Users can try it directly online, while developers compile the React code using yarn build-and-preview.written, reviewed, cited
