Freshness 41 out of 100. Repository age: 230 days old, Feb 27, 2026. Measures age, not quality.

Popularity 91 out of 100. 7,944,995 downloads in 30 days; 1,073 lifetime likes. Checked Oct 15, 2026. Measures adoption, not quality.

What do these scores mean?

Two ways to compare models. Neither score measures answer quality, benchmark performance, or whether a model fits your machine.

Freshness · release age

A new release starts at 100. The score halves every 180 days: 100 × 2^(−age in days / 180). When the release date is unavailable, a repository date is a fallback—not proof of when the model was released. Missing dates stay unscored.

Popularity · adoption

Downloads over the past 30 days carry 80% of the score; lifetime likes carry 20%. Both use a logarithmic scale, capped at 10 million downloads and 100,000 likes. If likes are unavailable, downloads carry all the weight. Missing download statistics stay unscored.
