How many AI models are available today?
The number of publicly available AI models has grown rapidly as developers, researchers and companies publish models for text, images, audio, embeddings and multimodal tasks.
What counts as an AI model?
A model entry may include a base model, fine-tune, embedding model, classifier, experimental checkpoint or task-specific machine learning model.
Why this number matters
The number of public AI models is a useful signal for open AI activity, developer adoption and the pace of experimentation across the machine learning ecosystem.
How this counter works
This counter currently uses the latest public model snapshot from Hugging Face as a proxy for the open AI model ecosystem. For details, see the Methodology.
