open-weight adoption — tracked daily

THE OPEN MODEL INDEX

Which open-weight models are developers actually building with? Hugging Face weight downloads and GitHub velocity for DeepSeek, Llama, Qwen, Kimi, Mistral, and GLM — plus the runtime layer that runs them. Every number says what it is; nothing here is made up.

09:41:02 8 open models + 3 runtimes tracked — hf trailing-30d downloads + github velocity, nothing fabricated

09:41:03 deepseek v3 leads the 30-day window at 1.4M

09:41:04 llama 3.3 70b gained the most rate this month — +471k on the 30d window

09:41:05 mistral small 3.1 is the fastest riser — doubling every 41 days at current pace
