Model Pulse is an independent dashboard and open dataset for Hugging Face download and like histories. It can help researchers distinguish a launch spike from a longer pattern and group a model with its derivatives. The October 12 methodology explains that missing days may be averaged and Space charts track likes, not visits. Downloads include automated pulls and are not users or model quality. Documentation checked October 16; charts and data reconstruction were not independently reproduced.
