Note: This list is incomplete and only represents a portion of the models available on Hugging Face. The https://huggingface.co/models page itself contains many more models. Furthermore, the "Updated" dates reflect the last update to the model's information on Hugging Face, not necessarily the date of the model's initial release or last training.

Another result mentions that models like BERT and DistilBERT have over 100,000 weekly downloads, highlighting their popularity. However, a precise, up-to-the-minute ranking of all Hugging Face models by download count is not directly available from the provided data.
