Argonne: language models trained from scratch

Each point is a base model, placed by the date its Hugging Face repository was created and by its size; the larger the point, the more its family of checkpoints has been downloaded.

Every model, on one calendar

One circle per model, by the date its repository was created; the area follows its downloads to date.
