Interconnects launches Adoption Dashboard for open models
TL;DR
- Interconnects rolled out a free Adoption Dashboard on August 3, with daily Hugging Face download and derivative counts for open-weight models.
- The tracker stitches Hugging Face, Open Router, Artificial Analysis, Project VAIL, and the ATOM Project into one adoption view.
- Nathan Lambert framed the launch around what he calls the US-China gap in open-model adoption and derivatives.
Nathan Lambert of Interconnects rolled out an Adoption Dashboard on August 3, a daily-updated view of Hugging Face download and derivative counts for open-weight models, alongside a companion Artifacts Hub covering 792 models released over two years.
The dashboard stitches data from Hugging Face for downloads and derivatives, Open Router for inference tokens, Artificial Analysis for its Intelligence Index, and Project VAIL for a similarity index. A 'relative adoption metric' from the ATOM Project normalizes downloads by model age and size, so tiny old models do not dominate raw counts.
The framing is pointed. Lambert describes the dashboard as one "highlighting the US-China gap and growing players in the open ecosystem," and in a companion essay writes that "Qwen triumphantly took its spot as the default models of choice across a variety of tasks."
