Hottest Repos
liteparse — 929 stars today (7.8k total). LlamaIndex's Rust-based document parser. Biggest single-day jump on the board relative to its base — 12% daily growth. Fast local PDF extraction with OCR fallback, bindings for Rust/Python/Node/WASM. Apache-2.0. Second day trending and accelerating — went from 680/day yesterday to 929 today. The "parse locally, not in the cloud" pitch is landing.
MoneyPrinterTurbo — 2,775 stars today (71.8k total). One-click AI short video generator. Sixth straight day trending. Trajectory this week: 61k → 66k → 69k → 72k. The velocity cooled from yesterday's 3.6k but 2.8k/day at 72k stars is still monster momentum. Crossed 70k — it's now a Tier 1 repo.
microsoft/markitdown — 2,473 stars today (132k total). Microsoft's file-to-Markdown converter. New to our digest at this velocity. At 132k stars it's a perennial, but today's 2.5k spike suggests a new release or viral moment. The "everything to Markdown" pipeline is infrastructure for every RAG system.
oh-my-pi — 2,283 stars today (8.6k total). New. AI coding agent for the terminal with hash-anchored edits, LSP integration, subagents, and browser tools. TypeScript/Rust hybrid. MIT. 27% daily growth rate. Another entrant in the terminal coding agent race, differentiating on edit reliability (hash-anchored = no fuzzy matching failures).
ECC — 918 stars today (199.2k total). The agent harness optimizer. About to cross 200k stars. At this scale it's less a trend and more a gravitational constant. Weekly adds: 10.2k.
AI & ML
VoxCPM — 658 stars today (22.7k total). Tokenizer-free TTS, 2B params, 30 languages. Second day in digest, holding steady at ~650/day. The sustained interest (vs. yesterday's 1,549 spike) signals real adoption over curiosity traffic. It's consolidating as the open TTS reference alongside MOSS-TTS (2.6k, cooling at 88/day).
Kronos — 293 stars today (27.6k total). Financial market foundation model. Sixth consecutive day trending but velocity continues decelerating (400→400→166→293). The oscillation around 200-300/day after the initial spike looks like steady practitioner adoption. A durable niche repo.
stable-worldmodel — 319 stars today (1.4k total). Unified world model research platform. Second day trending. Grew 22% overnight. 30+ environments, LanceDB backend at 4.8k samples/sec. Niche but the reproducibility angle matters for embodied AI researchers.
NVlabs/Eagle — 124 stars today (1.6k total). NVIDIA's frontier VLMs. Still quietly growing. LocateAnything parallel grounding + Eagle 2.5 128K-token context. Small numbers but this is NVIDIA's production vision stack going open. ICLR spotlight paper.
Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills — 12.5k total (+1k this week, 5.2k weekly). 754 structured cybersecurity skills mapped to MITRE/NIST. Steady climber in the agent skills ecosystem.
Developer Tools
herdr — 169 stars today (3.2k total, +878/week). New to digest. Rust-based agent multiplexer for your terminal — tmux for coding agents. Workspaces, tabs, panes with mouse support. Detach/reattach while agents keep running. Shows blocked/working/done state per agent. The "I run 5 agents simultaneously" workflow finally has purpose-built tooling.
dograh — 1,141 stars this week (3.8k total). New. Open-source voice AI platform — self-hosted alternative to Vapi and Retell. Visual workflow builder, MCP-native, telephony support. BSD-2-Clause. YC alumni team. The voice agent infrastructure layer is going open-source, mirroring what happened with chat agents 18 months ago.
cursor/plugins — 206 stars today (1.4k total). New. Cursor's official plugin specification. Only a week old (created Jan 2026, but just now gaining traction). The plugin war is now three-sided: Claude plugins (28.8k), Cursor plugins (1.4k), and Compound Engineering (18.4k) as the cross-platform play.
claude-code-harness — 999 stars this week (2.3k total). New. Dedicated Claude Code harness with autonomous Plan→Work→Review cycle. Shell-based. The harness/skill file ecosystem around Claude Code continues to proliferate — ECC (199k), taste-skill (29k), and now purpose-built dev cycle harnesses.
Hidden Gems
engram — 3,970 stars, +88/day. Persistent memory system for AI coding agents. Go binary with SQLite + FTS5, MCP server, HTTP API, CLI, and TUI. Agent-agnostic by design. Solves the "my agent forgets everything between sessions" problem that every serious agent user hits. MIT licensed.
train-llm-from-scratch — 2.2k stars, +316 today. Complete transformer implementation from scratch in PyTorch with step-by-step explanation. Train a billion-parameter LLM on a single GPU. Educational gold — the kind of repo that creates the next generation of ML engineers. MIT.
stable-worldmodel — 1.4k stars, +319 today. Already mentioned in AI & ML but deserves the gem call-out: a unified platform for world model research across 30+ environments. If you're doing anything in embodied AI or model-based RL, this saves months of infrastructure work.
Notable Trends
The Plugin/Skill Wars are heating up. This week's trending is dominated by agent ecosystem repos: Claude plugins (28.8k), Cursor plugins (1.4k, brand new), Compound Engineering (18.4k), taste-skill (29k), cybersecurity skills (12.5k), ECC (199k), claude-code-harness (2.3k). Every major coding agent now has a plugin/skill marketplace. The platform lock-in battle has shifted from the agent itself to its ecosystem.
Agent infrastructure > agent demos. The hottest new repos aren't "look what AI can do" — they're "how to run AI better": herdr (agent multiplexer), engram (agent memory), dograh (voice agent infra), harness repos (dev cycles). The market has moved from "can agents code?" to "how do I operate agents at scale?" This is the tooling phase of the agent revolution.
