GitHub discovery

Recently growing AI projects

Repositories gaining stars fastest, by our own repeated counts.

How this list is chosen

Candidates are the repositories GitHub's topic search returns for "llm" and "local-llm" when we collect, about three times a day. A repository must have been observed in the last 3 days to be listed, and each view lists at most 12.

Figures as of our latest count, . We have stored star counts for 137 repositories since .
