Kimi K3 and Unlimited OCR take the global top two spots, as Chinese open-source models keep going viral overseas

Moonshot AI open-sourced the full Kimi K3 weights, and the model quickly rose to the top of Hugging Face’s global trends.

Baidu’s Unlimited OCR also reclaimed the top spot, driven by sustained developer usage, strong GitHub stars, and high Hugging Face downloads.

Its key technical advance is Reference Sliding Window Attention, which keeps memory use stable while decoding long documents across many pages.

The surge highlights growing global interest in Chinese open-source AI models and a practical OCR breakthrough for developers and enterprises.
