  1. AutoGPT

    AutoGPT is the vision of accessible AI for everyone, to use and to build on. Our mission is to provide the tools, so that you can focus on what matters.

    We see an addition to the AI community with AutoGPT. Along with Tensorflow they represent the AI community in the software category, which is getting relevant (2 out of 8). We can expect in the future to have new AI projects in the top 25 such as Transformers or Ollama (currently top 34 and 36, respectively).

    An Open Source Machine Learning Framework for Everyone

We can expect in the future to have new AI projects in the top 25 such as Transformers or Ollama (currently top 34 and 36, respectively).

  4. transformers

    🤗 Transformers: the model-definition framework for state-of-the-art machine learning models in text, vision, audio, and multimodal models, for both inference and training.

  6. CS-Notes

    :books: 技术面试必备基础知识、Leetcode、计算机操作系统、计算机网络、系统设计

    Chinese projects are still the only non-English projects we see in the top 25, such as CyC2018/CS-Notes, maintaining its importance in the platform. There is also a project not related to code nor books or guides, but to the labor of coding. This is 996.ICU, used to track companies that still apply this abusive work schedule called 996 (9 a.m.–9 p.m., 6 days per week). So we can even see GitHub being used as a community building platform, where people share their concerns on practices related to developing software.

  7. 996.ICU

    Discontinued Repo for counting stars and contributing. Press F to pay respect to glorious developers.
