Ivan Fioravanti ᯅ(@ivanfioravanti):3,000,000 public models on the Hugging Face Hub 🤯 Crossed last week! But there are other cool numbers like: - independent developers now drive 39% of all downloads. Industry is at 37%. In 2022 it was 17% vs 70% - Qwen alone has 113,000+ derivative models, more than Google and Meta combined So I asked Kimi K3, an open model, to write an article about open models — data gathering and charts included 💪 Thanks to @huggingface for being the glue of this incredible AI ecosystem that is shaping up in front of our eyes, day after day and to @aiworld
