| # Economies of Open Intelligence: Tracing Power & Participation in the Model Ecosystem |
|
|
| This dataset, released in conjunction with the paper [Economies of Open Intelligence: Tracing Power & Participation in the Model Ecosystem](https://huggingface.co/papers/2512.03073), provides a rigorous examination of concentration dynamics and evolving characteristics in the open model economy. |
|
|
| It compiles a history of weekly model downloads (February 2024-August 2025) alongside detailed model metadata from the Hugging Face Model Hub. The dataset encompasses 851,000 models, over 200 aggregated attributes per model, and 2.2 billion downloads. |
|
|
| Researchers can leverage this dataset to analyze: |
| - The fundamental rebalancing of economic power in open-weight AI. |
| - Statistically significant shifts in model properties, such as increases in average model size, growth in multimodal generation, quantization, and mixture-of-experts architectures. |
| - Trends in data transparency and the emergence of developer intermediaries. |
|
|
| The project also features an interactive dashboard for real-time monitoring of these dynamics. |
