Introducing our Artifacts Hub and Adoption Dashboard

Scaling our curation and measurement of the open ecosystem. ✦ AI generated

02
Context

Interconnects is expanding its primary efforts on Interconnects — release recaps for popular models and the monthly Artifacts Log round-up — by building on the tools and internal data collected for projects like The ATOM Project, capturing an ecosystem view of open models and understanding adoption of giant MoE models.

These projects extend Interconnects' existing work — release recaps of models like Kimi K3, GLM 5.2, DeepSeek R1 — using internal data from The ATOM Project to develop methods for understanding adoption of large MoE models.

transcript

Interconnects (article author): To date, our primary efforts on Interconnects have been release recaps for popular models like Kimi K3, GLM 5.2, DeepSeek R1, etc. and monthly round-ups of the open models that matter, Artifacts Log. We're expanding on these, building on the tools and internal data we've collected for other projects like The ATOM Project (and report). This allows us to capture our ecosystem view of open models, develop methods for understanding adoption of giant MoE models, and everything in between. We're sharing them freely to help the open ecosystem find its strengths and grow.

Mechanism

Providing transparency on what is happening with open models is the best way for Interconnects to figure out what is working and to enable the open ecosystem to use open models productively in cost-competitive ways.

Interconnects frames the transparency mission: as the world figures out productive open-model use (especially cost-competitively vs frontier models), sharing data is the best way to learn what works; they invite feedback and collaboration.

transcript

Interconnects (article author): It's core to our mission at Interconnects to enable the open ecosystem. Right now, as the world figures out how to use open models productively — especially in cost-competitive ways to frontier models — providing more transparency on what is happening is the best way for us to figure out what is working. We'd love to hear how we can make this better, please get in touch. We're also interested in how others could use our curated data for other products or research in the open ecosystem.

Claim

Since writing The ATOM Project, Interconnects has repeatedly seen the US-vs-China model adoption plot in the AI ecosystem, so they are now making the crucial data available in a daily updating dashboard.

The Adoption Dashboard is a lighter-weight project addressing the frequently recurring US-vs-China model adoption plot, now updated daily rather than periodically.

transcript

Interconnects (article author): Our other project is much lighter weight, but far overdue. Ever since we wrote The ATOM Project, we've been seeing the US-vs-China model adoption plot on a recurring basis in the AI ecosystem. We'd update the plot from time to time, but not enough. Now, we're making the crucial data for that report and the ecosystem available in a daily updating dashboard.

Data

The Artifacts Hub covers 792 models released in the last two years and lets users go deeper on analysis in collaboration with Project VAIL.

The Hub tracks 792 models from the last two years, following the data of every model on Hugging Face, analyzing the core few thousand LLMs, and hand-selecting a few hundred for explanation, with VAIL collaboration.

transcript

Interconnects (article author): The Artifacts Hub right now covers 792 models released in the last two years, across the core text-focused language models and multimodal generative models. At Interconnects we follow the data of every model on Hugging Face, analyze the core few thousand LLMs (this list is public on GitHub and regularly updated), and hand select these core few hundred for further explanation. We built the Hub as a way to go deeper on this analysis in collaboration with Project VAIL — an AI verification startup who has been one of the most loyal fans of our open model curation.

We are expanding our open-models coverage into standalone projects that let you go deeper on the state of the open model ecosystem, introducing two free data sources: the Artifacts Hub and our Adoption Dashboard.

Interconnects announces two new free data sources — the Artifacts Hub (a curated view of trending Hugging Face models) and a daily-updating Adoption Dashboard (downloads by geography and organization highlighting the US-China gap).

transcript

Interconnects (article author): We're expanding our open models coverage into standalone projects that let you go deeper on the state of the open model ecosystem. The new free sources of data are: The Artifacts Hub — a curated view of the models trending on Hugging Face, highlighting inference tokens via Open Router, model intelligence via Artificial Analysis, and our tailored adoption metrics building on top of Hugging Face's data. Our Adoption Dashboard — a living dashboard of download and derivative model numbers by geography and organization. This highlights the US-China gap and growing players in the open ecosystem.
