New blog post alert! "What is the Hugging Face Community Building?", with @yjernite and @irenesolaiman What 1.8 Million Models Reveal About Open Source Innovation: Our latest deep dive into the Hugging Face Hub reveals patterns that challenge conventional AI narratives: šŸ”— Models become platforms for innovation Qwen, Llama, and Gemma models have spawned entire ecosystems of specialized variants. Looking at derivative works shows community adoption better than any single metric. šŸ“Š Datasets reveal the foundation layer ā†’ Most downloaded datasets are evaluation benchmarks (MMLU, Squad, GLUE) ā†’ Universities and research institutions dominate foundational data ā†’ Domain-specific datasets thrive across finance, healthcare, robotics, and science ā†’ Open actors provide the datasets that power most AI development šŸ›ļø Research institutions lead the charge: AI2 (Allen Institute) emerges as one of the most active contributors, alongside significant activity from IBM, NVIDIA, and international organizations. The open source ecosystem spans far beyond Big Tech. šŸ” Interactive exploration tools: We've built several tools to help you discover patterns! ModelVerse Explorer - organizational contributions DataVerse Explorer - dataset patterns Organization HeatMap - activity over time Base Model Explorer - model family trees Semantic Search - find models by capability šŸ“š Academic research is thriving: Researchers are already producing valuable insights, including recent work at FAccT 2025: "The Brief and Wondrous Life of Open Models." We've also made hub datasets, weekly snapshots, and other data available for your own analysis. The bottom line: AI development is far more distributed, diverse, and collaborative than popular narratives suggest. Real innovation happens through community collaboration across specialized domains. Read: https://huggingface.co/blog/evijit/hf-hub-ecosystem-overview
