Method

Each morning the fleet hits the Hugging Face Hub public API at api/models?sort=trendingScore and api/models?sort=likes7d, merges the two lists, dedupes, and commits the result. The Worker reads the latest snapshot and groups by pipeline_tag. We don't filter by license, parameter count, or modality - this is the raw "what people are actually clicking on" feed. Raw JSON: today's snapshot.
