I think the RAM score @xeophon and I made for ATOM work is a really solid metric. If I just rank by the top RAM scores @ 30days within our artifacts curation, all the models are really solid.

RAM score @ t= (model's cumulative downloads) @ t / (top-10 downloads for size class) @ t

RAM is essentially looking at a model's downloads at specific points in time (this case t is 30 days), relative to the downloads of the top 10 models of all time in that size bracket. A score of above 1 means it's on track to be a top 10 downloaded model at that size category. Imo most meaningful for 50B+ models.

Downloads alone normally isn't great on HuggingFace, but it's rare a large MoE gets a ton of adoption without being a solid model.
