Model Pulse data

Daily download and like history for every actively used model on the Hugging Face Hub, from 2024-07-29 onward, updated every day. It powers Model Pulse.

Built from the daily snapshots of cfahlgren1/hub-stats (Apache 2.0), reading each historical revision of models.parquet.

Files

Path	Rows	What it holds
`series/YYYY-MM.parquet`	one per model per snapshot day	`id, day, dl30, dl_all, likes`
`models.parquet`	one per tracked model	latest metadata plus derived metrics (`dl_7d`, `growth_7d`, ranks, family totals)
`children.parquet`	one per base→derivative edge	direct derivatives with relation and downloads
`family_series/YYYY-MM.parquet`	one per base model per day	downloads summed over the model and all its derivatives
`author_series/YYYY-MM.parquet`	one per author per day	downloads summed over the author's models
`hub_series.parquet`	one per day per task	Hub-wide daily downloads by `pipeline_tag`
`leaderboards.json`		weekly rankings shown on the site

Notes

dl30 is the Hub's rolling 30-day download count. dl_all (all-time downloads) only exists from 2025-02-27, so exact daily downloads, computed as the difference of dl_all between snapshots, start on that date.
Some days are missing in the source (Aug 2024, Jun 2025, Apr 2026, May–Jun 2026). Totals are unaffected; daily values across a gap are averages.
A model is tracked once it has 10+ downloads in 30 days, 50+ all-time downloads, or at least one like.
Download counts follow the Hub's counting rules; the Hub occasionally books delayed downloads on a single day.
