🎃 3.5 million downloads. One magical community. ✨
Spark X2.5 and Spark X2.6 have passed 3.5 million combined downloads across tracked official model channels and community derivatives. Thank you for every download, experiment, quantization, fine-tune and contribution. ❤️🛠️
This Halloween, pick up a little open-model magic and make something of your own. 🧙♀️🪄
✨ The milestone, in numbers
Our October 30, 2026 snapshot records:
- 🎉 Approximately 3,626,852 combined downloads and pulls.
- 🤗 Approximately 1,540,498 through tracked official model channels.
- 🛠️ 2,086,354 downloads of community derivatives.
- 🌟 204 community derivative models: 114 for X2.5 and 90 for X2.6.
These are cumulative model distribution counts, not unique people or installations. They include Ollama pulls and approximate counters. Platforms use different counting methods, so the aggregate is a reference figure. Community models are counted once per repository. 📊
🪄 Three ideas for a Halloween build
These are ideas to try, rather than claims about an existing demo:
👻 A spooky story bot: give it a setting, a character and a twist; turn the result into a tiny interactive adventure.
🎃 A pumpkin-game NPC: prototype a character that responds to player choices, then test how it handles your game's rules.
🍬 A candy-themed coding helper: build a small local playground for explaining snippets or exploring ideas, and review its outputs as you would any model-generated code.
Start with a task you can actually test. Tell the community which model, runtime and settings you used, and share what worked as well as what needs improvement. 🔬✨
🤗 Open your spellbook
Explore the Spark X2.6 1.7B and 4B models and choose the available format that fits your runtime:
If you enjoy the models, leave a ❤️ Like, share your demo, or tell another builder about them. Your experiments help this community grow.
Create your own magic with Spark open-weight models. 🪄✨
Happy Halloween, builders! 🎃👻🍬
