Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

IBM Z/OS v2.5, Next-Gen Operating System Designed for Hybrid Cloud and AI
Here is a good high level slide deck on z/OS 2.5 new features: https://github.com/IBM/IBM-Z-zOS/blob/main/zOS-Education/zOS...
It starts out with the marketing buzzwords but then drills down into the technical nitty-gritty. In terms of what the "AI" stuff actually means, one answer is contained on slide 121 – support for running Tensorflow and ONNX inside a Linux Docker container using zCX (which lets you run z/Linux Docker containers under z/OS). The zCX SIMD support referenced on slide 102 is probably highly relevant to this.

I tried out hardware accelerated compression on a z15 and it just speeds it up a stupid amount, something like 20x times in decompression and 200 times with compression [0], which is not something that is done many other places yet. Though the PlayStation 5 does have it [1]
