Sources and interpretation
GitHub stars and forks measure public attention. They do not prove product quality, feature completeness, legal status, or that a commercial app has been reproduced. The last updated date is repository activity, not a release date.
Hugging Face counts reflect the source’s rolling monthly downloads, not daily downloads or unique users. The selection is the top eight text-generation models by downloads at collection time; changing membership can bias comparisons. Downloadability alone does not guarantee local compatibility or unrestricted use.
Sentiment draws from recent news headlines and short snippets plus at most two top-level comments from each matching story among Hacker News’s first 20 top stories. Ranking, source selection and small samples introduce bias. Model families with unspecified versions remain separate.
Seven days of evidence feed a maximum 40-item batch, balanced across models and sources. Classifications use separate satisfaction and concern labels. Unsupported interpretations receive “insufficient” or “unclear.” Main index methodology.
