Key Info
A community-built Hugging Face Space tracking science model releases reports 18,000 new science models on the Hub so far in 2026, versus 6,100 in the same period of 2025.
Highlights
- The figure comes from a public "Science on the Hub" Space that visualizes AI-for-Science release growth over the past year.
- 2026 year-to-date science model count is roughly three times the 2025 same-period count.
- The poster notes the growth exceeded their own expectations, suggesting earlier estimates underestimated the trend.
- The Space was built by community member @evijit, with credit to @cgeorgiaw for building the AI for Science community.
