Inference platform packages<br>Open source SDKs and packages for interacting with APIs, runtimes, and cloud services used to run or call models. This includes cloud platforms and foundation model providers with hosted APIs, so a provider can appear in both lists and rank differently against the broader peer set.

How the leaderboard works<br>Scarf uses aggregated, organization-level signals from downloads of open source packages to measure how broadly AI providers and platforms are being adopted.
Open source package signalsWe include downloads of packages that can be confidently associated with a provider or platform and exclude ambiguous activity. The index does not observe API calls or model execution.<br>Organization-level rankingProviders are ranked by the breadth of observed adoption, not raw downloads, API traffic, model quality, or revenue.<br>Daily snapshotsRankings update daily. Sparklines show daily unique organizations, while change compares rank with the same category 30 days earlier.<br>When a package identifies a gateway, router, or model-serving platform, we attribute adoption to that platform. The package usually does not reveal which underlying model was used, so we do not infer one.<br>This leaderboard is a directional view of observable open source package adoption, not a complete market-share estimate. Package coverage varies by provider and ecosystem. Individual organizations and their activity are not published.
