huggingface / diffusers
🤗 Diffusers: State-of-the-art diffusion models for image, video, and audio generation in PyTorch.
huggingface/diffusers holds a health index of 98 out of 100, placing it in the Exceptional band. It scores highest on Vitality (97/100) and lowest on Engineering Quality (76/100). It was last updated today. 4 contributors account for most of its recent work.
Software health index
Metrics are grouped into weighted categories on one standardized 1–100 scale. Overall starts as their weighted mean, calibrated against the distribution of the public record so bands carry percentile meaning; when public evidence triggers the High-Risk Jurisdiction Policy, the rating is adjusted and receives an At Risk ceiling of 34.
Score profile
Each axis is a category. The shape matters more than the average — a healthy subject fills the whole shape, while a spike-and-crater profile means strength in one dimension is masking risk in another.
The weighted overall 88 is calibrated to 98 on the published index scale (record calibration 2026-08-02).
Ownership
This repository is backed by an organization — shared, accountable stewardship that can outlive any single maintainer.

More detail
Star and fork history 0 ★ / 7,236 ⇿
When each star and fork was added, collected from GitHub and bucketed by day. Cumulative growth sits directly above the daily additions it is made of, so the two read against each other: steady organic accretion looks nothing like an abrupt, short-lived burst. Where that difference is measurable, it is reported as growth authenticity.
Only the most recent history is shown — this repository exceeds the collection window, so the earliest history is not captured.
All dependencies 124
Full resolved dependency set from the GitHub dependency graph: 0 direct and 124 indirect (transitive) packages. The transitive closure is complete when the repository commits a lockfile.

Dependency advisories 0
Installing pypi:diffusers@0.39.0 pulls in 24 packages, direct and transitive: 0 carry known advisories, of which 0 are direct dependencies.
No known advisories affect the assessed dependencies.
An advisory means the version recorded in the dependency graph falls inside an advisory’s affected range. Reachability is not analysed, and the graph includes development and test pins — a finding may concern tooling rather than shipped software.
