About the Top DeepSeek Fine-Tunes Leaderboard

Best fine-tunes built on DeepSeek models — including DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeek-Coder. This leaderboard tracks the top 80 fine-tuned models ranked by downloads, with daily snapshots to monitor how the rankings evolve over time.

Unlike HuggingFace's default model hub, Fine-Tune Catalog filters out pure quantizations and format conversions (repos that simply re-package a model as GGUF, AWQ, GPTQ, or EXL2 without any new training). Fine-tuned models published in quantized formats are still included — what matters is whether new training happened, not the output format.

Methodology

Rankings are based on total all-time download counts from HuggingFace. Downloads reflect real-world adoption — models and datasets that people actually use in production and research, not just stars or hype.

Rankings are snapshotted daily at 6:00 AM UTC. Position changes shown on the leaderboard compare the current snapshot to the previous day's snapshot. All data is sourced directly from the HuggingFace Hub API and processed through our classification pipeline, which uses tag analysis, model card parsing, and naming pattern detection to identify genuine fine-tunes.

Data Sources

  • HuggingFace Hub API — download counts, likes, trending scores, model metadata, and README/model cards
  • Model card parsing — training datasets, training method (LoRA, DPO, SFT, etc.), framework, hardware, and hyperparameters extracted from README files
  • Tag classification — fine-tune detection via `base_model:finetune:*` and `base_model:quantized:*` HuggingFace tags, plus naming pattern analysis

Who Is This For?

This leaderboard is designed for engineers who have already chosen a base model architecture and want to find the best fine-tuned versions available, saving them the time and compute of training from scratch.

Whether you're a beginner exploring what's possible with fine-tuned AI models or an experienced ML engineer looking for the best starting point for your next project, these rankings give you a data-driven way to find the highest quality models without having to wade through thousands of quantizations, format conversions, and abandoned repositories on HuggingFace.

Update Schedule

This leaderboard was last updated on April 3, 2026. Rankings are refreshed daily with the latest download counts, likes, and trending data from HuggingFace. Historical snapshots are preserved to track trends over time — you can see which models are gaining traction and which are losing momentum.
