What today's GitHub trends reveal
The September 28 GitHub nine is an agent-and-local-tool stack, not a language-runtime stack. paperclip and hindsight still occupy 1 and 2, but the middle of the board flipped from NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer and tensorflow to VoiceStudio, PipePipe, and scriptc. Star counts at fetch time span 91034 (paperclip) down to 898 (Madeira). Univer slipping from 4 to 8 is the largest holdover drop on a short list.
