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.
