Surge analysis

why it's on the radar

Hugging Face publishes a single trending score; it doesn't expose the formula. So Model Radar reads the surge from the four public signals that move with it — momentum, adoption, community and recency — each normalized against the tracked field, then weighted into a 0–100 composite. The weights are ours, and shown below. No hidden inputs.

In context

vs. category peers

How this model stacks up against the other 3 Embeddings models on the radar. The filled bar is this model; the tick is the category-peer median. Downloads and likes use a log scale (they span orders of magnitude).

Bars are normalized against the most extreme model in the whole radar, so a near-full bar means category-leading. Peer median = the middle model of the 3 in this category.

Recency

last update

Where this model's last update lands on a freshness scale — fresh (<14d), recent (14–60d), or older.
