bus factor = how many people it takes to cover more than half the commits (6 months). 1 is a solo project; higher means the work is spread across a team. top-author share is the single busiest author's slice of those commits.

why it's a big deal
- llmware is designed to be RAG-ready, seamlessly integrating enterprise knowledge with generative AI.
- It includes over 50 small, specialized models optimized for fact-based question-answering, classification, summarization, and extraction.
- The framework is lightweight and efficient, allowing models to run without a GPU directly on a laptop.
under the hood
- llmware features SLIM function call models, which are pre-quantized small models designed for rapid execution.
- It provides advanced RAG tools, including hybrid search, metadata filters, and knowledge retrieval.
- The built-in model catalog allows users to access and benchmark all models from a unified interface.

- now 15k + 4k since first covered
curve is sampled from GitHub's star history, plus our own daily readings since we covered it; the dashed stretch is before we first covered it, the solid line since. figures at coverage are the numbers we printed then (approx.), current count is live.
understory
Better known than its recent output, coasting a little on attention.
- output, commits & releases
- clout, star velocity
output = commits & releases; clout = star velocity, both 0 to 100 monthly indices; the gap where output runs above clout is the understory. The understory →
