I run a small AI trends site, and three weeks ago I started doing something simple: every day, snapshot the star count of every repo that crosses my GitHub trending scan for AI. No judgment, no curation, just append-only rows in a database.
611 repos and 2,671 data points later (June 19 to July 10), the picture of what's actually growing looks pretty different from what my feeds told me was hot. Here's what the data says.
Before publishing this I re-checked every number below against GitHub's live API. Star counts drift by the hour, so treat them as of July 10.
