- [tensorflow/models](https://seerepo.com/r/tensorflow/models): Models and examples built with TensorFlow

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: seaborn, scikit-learn, nltk
- Only in recommenders: pyarrow, transformers
- Only in models: FastAPI, Google, Google Cloud Storage, matplotlib, google-auth-oauthlib, cupy-cuda12x, einops, TensorFlow, tf-keras, torch, opencv-python, torchvision, sentencepiece, scikit-image, tritonclient, pillow, psutil

## Side by side

| | recommenders | models |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 46,489 lines written, 107 code files | 644,066 lines written, 1,857 code files |
| Who writes it | 0% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code | 0% of its commits signed by AI |
| Activity | Last push November 4, 2026, 7,627 commits, 21,976 stars | Last push November 2, 2026, 8,558 commits, 77,633 stars |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
