## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 11:38–12:24: 7799 → 7930 stars (+131). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +758 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 21× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending today: #1, +2,243 stars.
- GitHub Trending Rust today: #1, +2,243 stars.
- About 229 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.
