About the archive
How far back does the archive go?
Model lists exist from the first day the collector ran: Hugging Face does not publish past trending lists, so they cannot be rebuilt. Paper lists for earlier days were rebuilt from the Hugging Face daily papers archive, and those days are marked "papers only".
What is kept for each day?
The leading models with their task, likes and downloads on that day, the models held back, and the leading papers with their upvotes. Abstracts are not duplicated in the archive; each paper links to arXiv.
Do archived numbers change?
No. A day’s record is the last collection of that day and is not rewritten afterwards. Likes and downloads you see on an archived day are the values on that day, not today’s.
How are weeks defined?
ISO 8601 weeks: Monday to Sunday, numbered so that week 1 contains the first Thursday of the year. The address /week/2026-40 is week 40 of 2026.
