AutoTrust's JEV-27B-VL hits HF's 10th most-liked spot in 17 days amid like-farming allegations

Developer realmrfakename alleges that AutoTrust's JEV-27B-VL model is being botted up Hugging Face's trending charts: launched only 17 days ago, it's already the 10th most-liked model in HF history (6.78k likes), alongside names like Qwen3, DeepSeek-R1 and FLUX.
Inspecting the likes reveals thousands of suspicious accounts, apparently generated at scale while solving hCaptcha and AWS WAF — which wouldn't be cheap. He notes we can't be sure AutoTrust itself is behind it, but the operation looks deliberate.
