AI repos

What the open-source AI world is building.

Attention on GitHub is not the same as quality — this catalogue shows what people are looking at, labelled with how it was chosen and how fresh the data is, not a ranking of what to use.

How we choose and label these

Where this comes from

Repository names and trending history come from the GitHub Trending Archive (opens in a new tab), an independent daily archive of GitHub’s trending pages. Stars, forks, descriptions, topics, licences, and dates come directly from the GitHub API. A repository is included when it has appeared on a trending board at least twice within the archive window and matches AI-related topics or description terms using a fixed, reviewed rule set — never an AI model deciding at build time.

Trending appearances

Counts how many days a repository appeared on a GitHub trending board within the archive’s window — it reflects attention, not quality, and GitHub does not publish how trending itself is calculated.
