we gathered it

Both lines are set to 100 at 2 Oct 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.

sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 is number 1 among open models by downloads.
