165 repositories starred since Apr 2010. Mostly machine learning and data, and lately AI and language models.

I like to train Deep Neural Nets on large datasets.

Findings

  1. 2024 was the busiest year: 30 stars, 18 of them in AI & LLMs.

  2. They star established projects: the median repo here has 2,757 stars, and 33% have fewer than 1,000.

  3. 20 of their stars are archived or deprecated, and 5 name a successor. Another 70 have had no commits in two years.

  4. The longest pause was 12 months, from May 2021 to May 2022.

  5. Python accounts for 51% of their stars, JavaScript for 10%.
