Upstage's Solar-Open2-250B climbs Hugging Face trending
Solar-Open2-250B from Upstage is sitting third on Hugging Face's trending list with a trending score of 502, despite only around 3,300 downloads in the last 30 days. That gap between attention and adoption is typical of a very large open-weight release — plenty of interest, but few people with the hardware to run it locally. Worth watching whether quantised community builds follow, which is usually what turns a 250B release into something developers actually use.
