In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs) have gained significant popularity, with models like ChatGPT and Bard attracting millions of users. The Hugging Face platform, which serves as a repository for machine learning models and datasets, has seen hundreds of new LLMs being announced each week. To date, nearly 16,000 Text Generation models have been uploaded to the site. However, despite this massive influx of LLMs, there is no comprehensive index available to understand the popular or trending LLM backbones, settings, training methods and families. To address this gap in knowledge, researchers have taken advantage of the systematic nomenclature used for Hugging Face LLMs. They have developed a method that utilizes hierarchical clustering techniques along with n-grams and term frequency-inverse document frequency to identify communities among LLMs. This approach successfully identifies families of LLMs and accurately clusters them into meaningful subgroups. To make their findings accessible to the public, the researchers have created a web application called Constellation. This application serves as an atlas of 15,821 LLMs and offers various visualizations such as dendrograms, graphs, word clouds and scatter plots. Users can navigate through Constellation to explore different LLMs based on their preferences. Additionally, the web application provides useful statistics and an interactive scatter plot that compares likes versus downloads for each model. The researchers also generate a graph of the models using the Louvain method to detect communities among similar models. This graph helps visualize relationships between different LLMs and highlights clusters within the dataset. Overall, this study presents a comprehensive approach to understanding the landscape of LLMs by identifying popular backbones settings training methods and families. The Constellation web application provides a user-friendly interface for exploring these insights visually. With the rapid growth of LLMs in recent years tools like Constellation are crucial in keeping up with these developments and facilitating further research in the field.

Exploring the Landscape of Large Language Models with Constellation
In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have become increasingly popular. From ChatGPT and Bard to the thousands of text generation models uploaded to Hugging Face, LLMs are being used in a variety of applications. However, despite this massive influx of LLMs, there is no comprehensive index available to understand the popular or trending backbones, settings, training methods and families. To address this gap in knowledge, researchers have developed an approach that utilizes hierarchical clustering techniques along with n-grams and term frequency-inverse document frequency to identify communities among LLMs. This approach successfully identifies families of LLMs and accurately clusters them into meaningful subgroups.
To make their findings accessible to the public, the researchers have created a web application called Constellation. This application serves as an atlas of 15,821 LLMs and offers various visualizations such as dendrograms, graphs, word clouds and scatter plots for users to explore different LLMs based on their preferences. Additionally, it provides useful statistics and an interactive scatter plot that compares likes versus downloads for each model. The researchers also generate a graph using the Louvain method which helps visualize relationships between different LLMs and highlights clusters within the dataset.
Hierarchical Clustering Techniques
The research team utilized hierarchical clustering techniques along with n-grams and term frequency-inverse document frequency (TFIDF) scores to identify communities among large language models (LLM). Hierarchical clustering is a type of unsupervised machine learning algorithm used for grouping data points into meaningful clusters based on similarity measures like Euclidean distance or correlation coefficient between data points in feature space. By applying these techniques on Hugging Face’s systematic nomenclature for its large language models (LLM), they were able to accurately cluster them into meaningful subgroups according to their respective backbones settings training methods and families.
