# State of open source on the Hub: Spaces and agents (Oct 2026)

`index.html` is the report, with two tabs:

1. **Open model usage via Spaces**: what people build with open models, from Space creation, linked models, tasks, app categories and traffic.
2. **Agents on the Hub**: how much Hub activity is agentic (the `agent/<name>` tag in `huggingface_hub`'s User-Agent), what agents build, whether agent-made or human-made Spaces get more traffic, and which coding agents people develop with (config files in repos).

## What's here

- `index.html`: the self-contained report (Chart.js, HF design-system styling). Every chart has a "Show data" table.
- `analysis/`: the pipeline that builds it (run order and definitions in `analysis/README.md`)
  - `01_classify_hubstats_spaces.py`: purpose labels for public Spaces (hub-stats)
  - `02_fetch_hub_api.py`: runtime, hardware and linked models for 2026 Spaces (Hub API)
  - `03_agent_config_files.py`: coding-agent config files in models, Spaces and a sample of datasets
  - `04_prepare_chart_data.py`: everything above + the internal CSVs → `analysis/cache/chart_data.json`
  - `05_build_report.py`: inlines the data into `analysis/report_template.html` → the report
- `*.csv`: aggregated internal extracts from the backend (Moonbot). Sources and start dates are in `table.tsv`.

## Also included (team-only Space)

- `spaces_by_creator_client_*.csv`: Moonbot's per-Space export (every Space created Apr–Sep 2026, incl. private and deleted ones, with creating client, agent name, visits and likes). This drives the per-Space agent charts.
- `moonbot.txt`: the Slack thread with Moonbot's original numbers and caveats. `state_of_oss_report.html`: Moonbot's first report.
- `analysis/cache/chart_data.json`: all aggregated chart data, so `python3 analysis/05_build_report.py` rebuilds the page directly. Run logs are alongside.

## Not included

- Parquet files in `analysis/cache/` (hub-stats `spaces.parquet`, classified Spaces, Hub API pull, config-file scan stages). They're all built from public data (hub-stats and the Hub API), and steps 1–3 recreate them.
- The Hugging Face Design System zip the report is styled with. The tokens it uses are inlined in `analysis/report_template.html`.
