Qwythos tops a China-heavy HF week

This week’s Hugging Face breakout set is LLM-heavy: Qwythos has the clearest download spike, while Hy3, LongCat-2.0, and DeepSeek V4 DSpark are the strongest commercially usable large-model candidates. Non-LLM signals are mostly license-gated: Rampart is usable with attribution, while TabFM, OmniVoice, and Sulphur-2-base should stay in research or monitoring for now.
