Hugging Face Trending (Presenc AI)·low signal

A mid-June Hugging Face trending snapshot shows Chinese open-weight models — including DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Qwen, GLM, Kimi K2.7-Code, and MiniMax — occupying five of the top ten slots, the highest concentration on record, following a two-week release wave (Qwen 3.7, DeepSeek V4.1, Hunyuan Large 3, ERNIE 5.1, GLM-6). For builders, permissive licenses and low cost-per-token are driving real migration of everyday workloads to Chinese open weights.
