📊 R1 just built its own download dashboard!
Some fresh stats: +6M downloads for 800+ derivative models vs 2M for originals. Watch the numbers grow here: fdaudens/deepseek-download-stats

🎯 Kokoro TTS just hit v1.0! 🚀
Small but mighty: 82M parameters, runs locally, speaks multiple languages. The best part? It's Apache 2.0 licensed!
This could unlock so many possibilities ✨
Check it out: hexgrad/Kokoro-82M

Why choose between strong LLM reasoning and efficient models?
Use DeepSeek to generate high-quality training data, then distil that knowledge into ModernBERT answerdotai/ModernBERT-base for fast, efficient classification.

🚀 The open source community is unstoppable: 4M total downloads for DeepSeek models on Hugging Face, with 3.2M coming from the +600 models created by the community.
That's 30% more than yesterday!

Updated the ColPali Query Generator Space
davanstrien/ColPali-Query-Generator to use
Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct.
Given an input image, it generates several queries along with explanations to justify them. This approach can generate synthetic data for fine-tuning ColPali models.

Yes, DeepSeek R1's release is impressive. But the real story is what happened in just 7 days after:
- Original release: 8 models, 540K downloads. Just the beginning...
- The community turned those open-weight models into +550 NEW models on Hugging Face. Total downloads? 2.5M—nearly 5X the originals.
The reason? DeepSeek models are open-weight, letting anyone build on top of them. Interesting to note that the community focused on quantized versions for better efficiency & accessibility. They want models that use less memory, run faster, and are more energy-efficient.
When you empower builders, innovation explodes. For everyone. 🚀
The most popular community model? @bartowski 's DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B-GGUF version — 1M downloads alone.
