gemma-4-26b-a4b is the most CIRCULATED LLM of recent history, with an average of 126k downloads per day, since the day it was released 3 months ago Top 10 is shared by Qwen and Gemma, with DeepSeek V4 Pro coming in close 🤝 Note that a model's distribution is inversely proportional to its size, but not strictly! Usefulness plays a factor as well, since gemma 4 26b-a4b is being downloaded more than the smaller gemma 4 e4b I created this leaderboard because Hugging Face's all time highest downloads and likes did not give me enough information about what is really popular *these last few months* How do I calculate this ranking? - Get models that with n_downloads >= 100k - Exclude models older than 1 year - Sort by descending total_downloads / age = average_downloads_per_day (can also sort w.r. to likes per month) - Deduplicate quantizations etc. of the same model based on slug prefix heuristics More info and source on the leaderboard page, hosted on a Hugging Face space:
