Hugging Face 7 months ago 13

Hugging Face's open source AI ecosystem nearly doubled in scale over the past year, growing to 13 million users, 2 million public models, and 500,000 public datasets. Chinese models surpassed U.S. models in downloads for the first time, accounting for 41% of all downloads in 2025 following DeepSeek's January release. Independent developers increased their share of ecosystem output from 17% to 39%, reshaping how innovations spread as individuals and small teams now steer meaningful portions of what users can access.
