Hottest Repos

  • MoneyPrinterTurbo — 3,563 stars today (69.4k total). One-click AI short video generator. Doubled yesterday's velocity again — went from 1.7k/day two days ago to 4.7k yesterday to 3.6k today. Gained 8k stars this week. The AI video generation wave is sustained, not a spike. At 69k stars it's approaching Tier 1 territory.

  • taste-skill — 2,066 stars today (28k total). Anti-slop skill file, fifth straight day trending. Trajectory: 21k → 24k → 26k → 28k across our digests. Companion stop-slop at 6.9k (+618/day). The anti-slop movement crossed 35k combined stars — it's a permanent product category now.

  • Understand-Anything — 26.2k stars this week (44.3k total). Interactive code knowledge graphs. Fifth consecutive day dominating weekly. Grew from 30.6k → 44.3k across our tracking window. It'll hit 50k within days as predicted. The knowledge graph thesis is proven.

  • VoxCPM — 1,549 stars today (22.1k total). New to digest. Tokenizer-free TTS with 2B params, 30-language support, 48kHz output. Trains on 2M+ hours of data. Voice design from text descriptions, controllable cloning, real-time streaming (0.13 RTF on 4090). Apache-2.0. The most technically ambitious open TTS release — it eclipses MOSS-TTS from yesterday.

  • ECC — 1,413 stars today (198.5k total). The agent harness optimizer. Closing in on 200k stars. At this point it's infrastructure, not a trend.

AI & ML

  • NVlabs/Eagle — 264 stars today (1.5k total). New. NVIDIA's frontier vision-language models. LocateAnything: parallel box decoding for grounding. Eagle 2.5: 128K-token long-context VLM. Already adopted as backbone for NVIDIA's GR00T robotics. Apache-2.0 code. ICLR 2025 spotlight. Small star count belies its significance — this is NVIDIA's production VLM stack going open.

  • Kronos — 166 stars today (27.3k total). Financial market foundation model. Fifth straight day trending but velocity is decelerating (400→400→400→166). Still, holding on the trending page at lower velocity signals real adoption over hype traffic settling.

  • stable-worldmodel — 346 stars today (1.2k total). New. Unified platform for world model research: data collection, training, and MPC evaluation across 30+ environments (DeepMind Control, Gymnasium, Atari 100+). LanceDB backend hits 4.8k samples/sec. Reproducibility-focused — researchers swap architectures without rebuilding infrastructure. Niche but important for embodied AI.

  • microsoft/agent-governance-toolkit — 3.3k total, +1.4k this week. Week-long developing story: 2.2k → 2.9k → 3.1k → 3.3k. Steady climb, not viral. Enterprise agent safety is a slow build, not a hype wave — which makes it more durable.

  • anthropics/claude-plugins-official — 28.6k total, +7k this week. Still climbing. The Anthropic plugin ecosystem is now a three-repo constellation: claude-plugins-official (28.6k), knowledge-work-plugins (18k), and claude-code itself (127.8k).

Developer Tools

  • liteparse — 680 stars today (7.2k total). New to digest. LlamaIndex's open-source document parser in Rust. Fast local PDF extraction with spatial bounding boxes, OCR fallback (Tesseract/EasyOCR/PaddleOCR), multi-format via LibreOffice conversion. Bindings for Rust, Python, Node, WASM. Apache-2.0. The "fast and local" pitch differentiates from cloud-dependent parsers. Honest about limitations — points to their commercial LlamaParse for complex docs.

  • herdr — 199 stars today (3k total). New. Agent multiplexer for terminals. Manages Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and others in persistent sessions with semantic state detection (blocked/working/done). Like tmux but agent-aware. Remote attach via SSH. Single Rust binary. The "agent desktop in the terminal" niche is heating up — cc-switch (84.6k) owns the GUI lane, herdr targets the terminal-native crowd.

  • cc-switch — 977 stars today (84.6k total). Cross-platform desktop all-in-one for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, etc. Still gaining ~1k/day consistently. The unified AI coding desktop has become the default surface.

  • react-doctor — 181 stars today (11.5k total). New to digest. Static analysis for AI-generated React code. Scans state/effects, performance, security, a11y. Ships as CLI, agent skill, and GitHub Action. The tagline says it: "Your agent writes bad React. This catches it." Deterministic guardrails for probabilistic code generators.

  • Compound Engineering Plugin — 354 stars today (18.1k total). New to digest. 37 skills + 51 agents for the "80% planning, 20% execution" methodology. Works across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, and 6 more platforms. The plugin ecosystem war is now multi-platform — plugins that work everywhere are winning.

Hidden Gems

  • numa — 1.2k stars. Portable DNS resolver in Rust. .numa local domains with auto-TLS, 385k ad-block domains, DNSSEC, DNS-over-HTTPS, LAN discovery, mobile setup via QR code. All in a single 8MB binary. Unlike Pi-hole (network appliance), this travels with your laptop. 0.1ms cached queries. The most polished developer DNS tool I've seen.

  • dograh — 3.7k stars, +1k this week. Self-hosted voice AI platform — the open-source Vapi/Retell alternative. Drag-and-drop workflow builder, Twilio/Vonage telephony, BYO-LLM/STT/TTS. BSD-2-Clause. Docker one-liner deploy. Voice AI is following the same open-source playbook as chat AI did 2 years ago.

  • stable-worldmodel — 1.2k stars. If you work on world models for robotics/simulation, this is the benchmark framework you've been building internally. 30+ environments, multiple data backends, reference baselines, reproducible evaluation. Academic-grade but practically useful.

Notable Trends

  • The Plugin Wars are multi-platform now. Compound Engineering (18k), claude-plugins-official (28.6k), cursor/plugins (1.3k), knowledge-work-plugins (18k) — the winning plugins aren't locked to one IDE. Cross-platform compatibility is the new moat. If your skill file only works in Cursor, you've already lost.

  • TTS/voice went open-source overnight. VoxCPM (22k, tokenizer-free, 2B params, 30 languages), MOSS-TTS (2.5k, yesterday's entry), and Dograh (3.7k, voice agent platform) all trending simultaneously. Last month, production-grade voice AI required paid APIs. This month, you can self-host a 30-language TTS system on an 8GB GPU. The accessibility curve just bent.
