AI TOOLS
0 FLAGGEDEntry rule: A repository is listed when its code is public on GitHub, its main use is running, serving, fine-tuning or building on AI models, and it had at least 25,000 GitHub stars when it was added. Repositories are not added because of a news story.
Unusual growth flag: more than 20,000 new stars in 7 days, or more than 5,000 with forks above 20% of stars. It describes the numbers, not the cause.

METHOD
How it works
- CheckEach repo is read from the GitHub API once a day.
- StoreToday's star count is saved.
- CompareGrowth = stars today minus stars 7 or 30 days ago.
Stars count GitHub accounts, not users, and are not a guarantee of quality. If a check fails, the last good numbers stay up.
Hosted model prices: AI provider comparison. Running models locally: hardware fit calculator.
