## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:04–02:13: 38002 → 38005 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +20 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 50% of the previous week and a half.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

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.
Data as of 2026-11-09 02:18 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
