The infrastructure you'll actually live in.

## Model & code hubs

- **Hugging Face**: [huggingface.co](https://huggingface.co/). The GitHub of ML: 1M+ models, datasets, Spaces (live demos), and the `transformers`/`datasets` libraries. A center of gravity for open-source AI. 🔄  
- **GitHub Trending**: [github.com/trending](https://github.com/trending). Filter by day or week to catch breakout AI repos before the newsletters do. 🔄  
- **Ollama**: [ollama.com](https://ollama.com/). Run open models locally with one command; an easy on-ramp to local inference.  
- **LM Studio**: [lmstudio.ai](https://lmstudio.ai/). A desktop app for downloading and running local models with a GUI; the point-and-click peer to Ollama.  
- **Replicate**: [replicate.com](https://replicate.com/). Run and fine-tune open models via API without managing GPUs. Useful for prototyping.  
- **Together / Fireworks / Groq**: [together.ai](https://www.together.ai/) · [fireworks.ai](https://fireworks.ai/) · [groq.com](https://groq.com/). Fast, cheap hosted inference for open models (Groq for very low latency). 🔄  
- **OpenRouter**: [openrouter.ai/models](https://openrouter.ai/models). A single API and marketplace across 400+ hosted models, with live per-token pricing and usage rankings. 🔄  
- **llms.txt**: [llmstxt.org](https://llmstxt.org/). Emerging convention, a Markdown file that points models at your site's key docs/content to make them AI-readable. Worth adopting for docs and products. 🔄

## Benchmarks & leaderboards (Papers-with-Code successors)

- **LMArena** (formerly Chatbot Arena; the older lmarena.ai now redirects here): [arena.ai](https://arena.ai/). Human-preference Elo rankings; the closest thing to a "vibes benchmark" that people trust. 🔄  
- **Artificial Analysis**: [artificialanalysis.ai](https://artificialanalysis.ai/). Independent index comparing models on intelligence, speed, and price across providers; widely cited for head-to-head numbers. 🔄  
- **Hugging Face Open LLM ecosystem & leaderboards**: [huggingface.co/spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces). After the original Open LLM Leaderboard was retired, evaluation moved to task-specific Spaces and Arena-style boards. Search Spaces for the current one for your task. 🔄  
- **Papers With Code**: [paperswithcode.com](https://paperswithcode.com/). Largely archived and frozen now. Still a useful historical map of benchmark SOTA. Its living successors are alphaXiv and HF Papers (below).  
- **alphaXiv**: [alphaxiv.org](https://www.alphaxiv.org/). Community discussion layer over arXiv; a practical Papers-with-Code successor for tracking active work. 🔄  
- **Hugging Face Daily Papers**: [huggingface.co/papers](https://huggingface.co/papers). Curated, upvoted daily paper feed. A fast triage tool. 🔄

## Dataset sources

- **Hugging Face Datasets**: [huggingface.co/datasets](https://huggingface.co/datasets). The default hub for training and eval data.  
- **Kaggle**: [kaggle.com/datasets](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets). Datasets, competitions, and free notebooks/GPUs; a good learning sandbox.  
- **Common Crawl**: [commoncrawl.org](https://commoncrawl.org/). The web-scale corpus underlying most pretraining.  
- **Awesome Public Datasets**: [github.com/awesomedata/awesome-public-datasets](https://github.com/awesomedata/awesome-public-datasets). Curated index across many domains.
