Monitor and fetch trending models from Hugging Face with support for filtering by task, library, and popularity metrics. Use when users want to check trending AI models, compare model popularity, or explore popular models by task or library. Supports export to JSON and formatted output.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Fetch the top trending models: scripts/hf_trends.py -n 10 -p http://172.28.96.1:10808
Basic usage: # Get top 10 trending models scripts/hf_trends.py -n 10 -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 # Get top 5 most liked models scripts/hf_trends.py -n 5 -s likes -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 # Get most downloaded models scripts/hf_trends.py -n 10 -s downloads -p http://172.28.96.1:10808
Filter models by specific AI tasks: # Text generation models scripts/hf_trends.py -n 10 -t text-generation -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 # Image classification models scripts/hf_trends.py -n 10 -t image-classification -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 # Translation models scripts/hf_trends.py -n 10 -t translation -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 Common task filters: text-generation - Large language models image-classification - Vision models image-to-text - Multimodal models translation - Machine translation summarization - Text summarization question-answering - QA models
Filter by ML framework: # PyTorch models only scripts/hf_trends.py -n 10 -l pytorch -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 # TensorFlow models only scripts/hf_trends.py -n 10 -l tensorflow -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 # JAX models scripts/hf_trends.py -n 10 -l jax -p http://172.28.96.1:10808
Save results for further analysis: # Export to JSON file scripts/hf_trends.py -n 10 -j trending_models.json -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 # Export with specific filters scripts/hf_trends.py -n 20 -t text-generation -j text_models.json -p http://172.28.96.1:10808
The script requires an HTTP proxy to access Hugging Face API (network restrictions). Use the -p flag: scripts/hf_trends.py -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 For most WSL2 environments with v2rayN: Proxy URL: http://172.28.96.1:10808 Or use dynamic IP: http://$(ip route show | grep default | awk '{print $3}'):10808

The script displays models in a structured format: π€ Hugging Face ηι¨ζ¨‘ε (5 δΈͺ) ============================================================ 1. moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5 β 2.0K likes π₯ 647.6K downloads π Task: image-text-to-text π Library: transformers π Created: 2026-01-01 Updated: N/A ...
Each model entry includes: Model ID: Full Hugging Face model name Likes: Number of likes (popularity metric) Downloads: Total download count Task: Primary task/pipeline (e.g., text-generation) Library: ML framework (transformers, pytorch, tensorflow) Created/Updated: Date information
Check trending models daily for new releases: # Create cron job for daily monitoring 0 9 * * * cd /home/ltx/.openclaw/workspace && \ /home/ltx/.openclaw/workspace/skills/huggingface-trends/scripts/hf_trends.py \ -n 20 -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 >> /tmp/hf-trends.log 2>&1
Explore popular models for specific AI tasks: # Research trending text generation models scripts/hf_trends.py -n 15 -t text-generation -s likes -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 # Find popular image-to-text models scripts/hf_trends.py -n 15 -t image-to-text -s downloads -p http://172.28.96.1:10808

Use within OpenClaw sessions: # Fetch trending models programmatically from skills.huggingface-trends.scripts import hf_trends fetcher = hf_trends.HuggingFaceTrends(proxy="http://172.28.96.1:10808") models = fetcher.fetch_trending_models(limit=10) # Format for display output = fetcher.format_models(models) print(output)
Problem: "Network is unreachable" or connection errors Solution: Ensure proxy is specified with -p flag: scripts/hf_trends.py -p http://172.28.96.1:10808 Check if v2rayN proxy is running on Windows.
Problem: "No models found" Solution: Try different filters or increase limit: scripts/hf_trends.py -n 50 -p http://172.28.96.1:10808
Problem: "requests package not installed" Solution: Install required dependencies: pip install requests
API Limitation: Hugging Face's public API doesn't provide a dedicated trending endpoint without authentication. The script fetches recent models and sorts by popularity metrics. Proxy Requirement: Due to network restrictions, all requests must go through a proxy. The script supports HTTP proxy configuration. Rate Limits: The public API has rate limits. Avoid making too many requests in quick succession. Data Freshness: Models are fetched from the Hugging Face API. Recent changes may take time to reflect.
See Hugging Face API Documentation for more details on model metadata and available filters.
