Nat Lambert released Interconnects' tracked-models repo for The ATOM Project's open model analytics, with primary/secondary model lists, local-model and arXiv CSVs, plus sync scripts. His TLDR on download trends: models got bigger and harder to serve, transformers tracking got more conservative, open model APIs reduced downloads, and local models are a new growth area.
