Dude is an idiot savant. I don't even care what happens next year I just wanna watch.

It's difficult to know an exact answer, but to investigate I pulled some numbers from huggingface's api. Here is the top 20 models text-to-image models and the number of times they were downloaded in the last month.

#	Model	Downloads (last month)
1	stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0	2,090,000
2	stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5	1,690,000
3	black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev	766,000
4	stabilityai/sd-turbo	760,000
5	Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo	757,000
6	black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell	725,000
7	crynux-network/sdxl-turbo	702,000
8	stabilityai/sdxl-turbo	697,000

19	kpsss34/FHDR_Uncensored	216,000
20	h94/IP-Adapter-FaceID	214,000
—	Total	12,095,000

The 20 models sum to roughly 12,095,000 downloads (~12.1M) in the last month.

The sum of the top 50 is roughly 15,657,500 downloads.

Edit:

Worth noting that for some of the larger local image generator platforms, they may have their own repos, for instance, huggingface's comfy repos have these totals for downloads in the past month:

#	Image model	Downloads (last month)
1	stable-diffusion-v1-5-archive	~3.0M
2	z_image_turbo	~2.66M
3	Qwen-Image_ComfyUI	~1.4M
4	flux2-dev	~1.29M
5	Qwen-Image-Edit_ComfyUI	~698k
6	flux1-schnell	~355k
7	flux1-dev	~283k
8	HiDream-I1_ComfyUI	~233k
9	z_image	~176k
10	Lumina_Image_2.0_Repackaged	~102k
—	Total	~10.2M

A bit of a different post, but figured I'd share something I've been working on.

My son is in AP Bio and has the big college board exam coming up. He's doing great, aceing the class, and is in cram mode now. Working very hard.

So I figured to help him out, I'd try to make some more interesting things to do rather than just taking the same study exams over and over, and getting burnout.

So I took his notes that he's taken through the year, and vibecoded up a bunch of apps/games/multimedia experiences to diversify his study.

Also made some custom songs with beatsaber maps for him if he wants to hop over in VR https://streamable.com/hp8rq0

So, it's all based on his notes and general test taking advice for the exam and other links etc.

At least to me, I'm not sure how apps like this are a problem. Yes, there was cognitive offloading I suppose because he didn't code them and I had claude help me vibe code them, but who cares? Coding apps isn't the point, creating diverse/enriched learning experiences is the point. I could have made them all myself easily, but it would have taken weeks rather than an afternoon.

Anyhow, just figured I'd share a bit of a more real world use case for the tech in ed.
