I built Model Pulse: daily download history for every model on the Hub 📈
A model page tells you its downloads for the last 30 days, but not how it got there. Model Pulse rebuilds the day-by-day history for 1.6M models, back to July 2024, from the daily snapshots in @cfahlgren1 's hub-stats dataset.
A few things the data shows:
- The Hub now serves ~100M model downloads a day, up from ~62M a year ago
- Vision-language models grew about 7x in that year, to 10.7M downloads a day
- 37% of Qwen3-8B's monthly downloads go to its 6,283 quantizations, fine-tunes and merges, not to the original
What you can do with it:
- Open any model, e.g. modelpulse/model-pulse
- Compare up to five models on one chart
- Browse weekly rankings: fastest growing, new this month, biggest families, top organizations
- Add a live badge to your model card (monthly downloads, sparkline and weekly trend)
The data is open too: modelpulse/model-pulse-data
I'd love feedback, especially from model authors: what would you want to see about your own models?
