Hugging Face amplified an internal observation: AI for Science releases on the Hub are exploding. So far in 2026, roughly 18,000 new science models have been published, versus 6,100 in the same period of 2025 — nearly triple.
The figures come from a community-built "Science on the Hub" tracker. Emma Scharfmann suspected she might be overestimating the trend from the inside; the data showed she was actually underestimating it.
