Dataset time range mismatch: model card says Feb 2024, but my download starts Feb 2025
Hi maintainers,
Thank you for releasing this dataset.
I noticed a mismatch between the time range described in the model card and the data I downloaded locally.
The dataset card states that weekly model downloads cover February 2024–Present.
However, after downloading and reading all_downloads_with_annotations.parquet, the earliest timestamp I can find in the time column is 2025-02-26 00:00:00+00:00.
Could you please clarify:
Is all_downloads_with_annotations.parquet supposed to include data back to Feb 2024?
Is the 2024 portion stored in a different file / branch / revision (e.g., refs/convert/parquet) than what snapshot_download() pulls by default?
If this is expected, what is the recommended way to download the full Feb 2024–present data?
Hello @Xinran1111 ,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention! You are correct in saying that the date range on the README is wrong. I've gone ahead and corrected it.
Is all_downloads_with_annotations.parquet supposed to include data back to Feb 2024?
No, this was a typo. Prior to Feb. 2025, public Hugging Face data did not have a downloadsAllTime column. Instead, it only had downloads, which represents downloads in the last 30 days.

No, we do not have the complete 2024 portion.

Hugging Face has weekly snapshots and daily updates available starting from July 2024. Be wary that the downloads column represents downloads in the last 30 days. We have compiled July 2024 - mid Jan 2026 here.
