Open-weight model census

DISCOVERED — every row in this dataset is a census listing, not a measurement. n_measured = 0. Live board: https://councilof.ai/api/gspc

A frozen snapshot of open-licence text-generation models on the Hugging Face Hub.

• n_frozen: 68,869 models (from 120,000 raw listings; slice: pipeline_tag=text-generation, sorted by downloads desc, first 120 pages of 1,000, kept only models with an explicit open-licence tag).
• as_of: 2026-09-01T04:41:36Z (UTC), crawled from the public https://huggingface.co/api/models listing API, unauthenticated, rate-limited.
• status (all rows): DISCOVERED. measured (all rows): false.
• The slice is not exhaustive — the Hub is larger. The number frozen is the number fetched. We do not call it anything else.

What DISCOVERED means

You are listed. You are not graded. A model becomes MEASURED only when a signed card verifies VALID under did:web:csoai.org#card-attestation-1. There is no certified badge and no gold badge. Measurement, not certification.

The live board is the authority

GET https://councilof.ai/api/gspc — quote totals.public_count. This Hub card is a printer of that GET, never a second engine. If the fetch fails the honest answer is UNCHECKABLE — never a fabricated 0.000. Status words: LOADING / UNREACHABLE / UNMEASURED / UNCHECKABLE.

Lid: 22 axes measured · 14 model fleets · 3 public leader scores · 8 fact runs · TIE is TIE · not a certificate.
