Notes on huggingface/transformers

How many stars does huggingface/transformers have?
GitHub currently reports 166,190 stars for huggingface/transformers. The chart itself is rebuilt from historical star data, which records star actions and not unstars, so it reads as an attention signal rather than a net star count.
What does recent star activity look like for transformers?
gitdebt observed about 227 public star actions for huggingface/transformers over the latest 90 days of archive coverage (about 206 in the latest 30). This is an approximate attention signal, not a net-star count, because unstars are not present. That's below its lifetime average activity pace, which is common for mature projects.
Is transformers still active?
Public archive data shows about 206 star actions for huggingface/transformers in the latest 30 days of coverage. For repository activity, use the commit heatmap, commit trend, and contributor charts on this page.

Light and dark variants, alt text, and one provenance line. Provenance is text in your README, never baked into the image URL, so the chart stays cacheable.

Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any coding agent with your checkout open. It carries the measured numbers, the exact snippets, and the rules — including replacing an existing star-history widget in place rather than stacking a second chart under it.
