What problem does it solve? Comparing HuggingFace model variants requires manually visiting dozens of model cards to collect download counts, benchmark tables, and author claims, which is slow and error-prone. This Skill automates pulling structured metadata via the HuggingFace API and extracting benchmark prose from README files so variants can be compared side by side. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured stats via HF API: Pull downloads, likes, pipeline tags, file lists, and GGUF metadata from huggingface.co/api/models/{owner}/{repo} using a bounded Python script with per-repo error handling. - Benchmark claim extraction: Read README benchmark tables (SWE-bench, AIME, MMLU-Pro, GPQA, ARC-c, refusal rates, KL divergence) via web_extract and flag when cards only reproduce base-model numbers. - Cross-variant comparison: Compile per-variant reports and summary tables grouping models by real benchmark data, refusal-rate tests, and popularity. - Use Case: Given a list of 22 fine-tunes of a new base model, produce a verified stats file with downloads, quant file sizes, and a comparison of which variants actually publish benchmark deltas versus the base model. ## Quick Start Pull the HuggingFace stats and benchmark claims for these model repos and compile a comparison table of downloads, likes, and reported benchmarks.
