We just crossed 1,000,000 free public models on Hugging Face! That’s the ones the media covers like Llama, Gemma, Phi, Flux, Mistral, Phi, Starcoder, Qwen, Stable diffusion, Grok, Whisper, Olmo, Command, Zephyr, OpenELM, Jamba, Yi but also 999,984 others. Why? Because contrary to the “1 model to rule them all” fallacy, smaller specialized customized optimized models for your use-case, your domain, your language, your hardware and generally your constraints are better. As a matter of fact, something that few people realize is that there are almost as many models on Hugging Face that are private only to one organization - for companies to build AI privately, specifically for their use-cases. Today a new repository (model, dataset or space) is created every 10 seconds on HF. Ultimately, there’s going to be as many models as code repositories and we’ll be here for it! Cheers to the community!
