## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-17 (UTC), 00:23–10:52: 10075 → 10076 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +4 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.

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.
