 Documentation Downloads Citations FAQ Documentation

 Models in this dataset have been collected from various sources, including literature reviews, Papers With Code, historical accounts, highly-cited publications, proceedings of top conferences, and suggestions from individuals. The list of models is non-exhaustive, but aims to cover most models that were state-of-the-art when released, have over 1000 citations, one million monthly active users, or an equivalent level of historical significance. Additional information about our approach to measuring parameter counts, dataset size, and training compute can be found in the accompanying documentation.

 Read the complete documentation Frequently asked questions

 What is a notable model? 
 
 
 

 A notable model meets any of the following criteria: (i) state-of-the-art improvement on a recognized benchmark; (ii) highly cited (over 1000 citations); (iii) historical relevance; (iv) significant use.

 How was the AI Models dataset created? 
 
 
 

 The dataset was originally created for the report “Compute Trends Across Three Eras of Machine Learning” and has continually grown and expanded since then.

 What are notable, frontier, and large-scale models? 
 
 
 

 We flag models as notable if they advanced the state of the art, achieved many citations in an academic publication, had over a million monthly users, were highly significant historically, or were developed at a cost of over one million dollars. You can learn more about these notability criteria by reading our AI Models Documentation .
