we gathered it

Both lines are set to 100 at 25 Sept 2026, the first day they share, so they can be read against each other. That is division — nothing here is smoothed, filled in or forecast. The number above the chart is still the real one.

audio-cpp/audio.cpp-gguf is number 43 among open models by downloads. That is 10 places further up than last week.
