| # 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](https://huggingface.co/spaces/modelpulse/model-pulse). |
|
|
| Built from the daily snapshots of [cfahlgren1/hub-stats](https://huggingface.co/datasets/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](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/models-download-stats); the Hub occasionally books delayed downloads on a single day. |
