## Useful for

- Run text generation with Qwen2.5 via the pipeline API
- Transcribe audio with Whisper through the pipeline API
- Classify an image with DINOv2 via the pipeline API

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-23 (UTC), 00:40–10:27: 168003 → 168019 stars (+16). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +43 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 49% of the previous week and a half.
- About 14 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @benthecarman (592 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 34,948
- Issues and pull requests: 49,113
- Watchers: 1,247
- Average over the last week: 46 per day
- Usual pace: 86 per day
- Latest release: v5.20.2 (2026-10-19)

---

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
