# Hugging Face Announces Supra2 Model Family with 100M Parameters

> Hugging Face has announced a new model family called Supra2, including a compact Supra2-Pro at 100 million parameters, with training slated to wrap up on August 3. The release itself is modest, but the backdrop is striking. The company's hub now hosts more than 2 million public models, over 900,000 datasets, and roughly a million interactive Spaces used by 11 million people. The pace is accelerating sharply: the second million models arrived in just 335 days, compared with more than a thousand days for the first million. That curve is the real story. Open model development is compounding, and small, efficient models like Supra2 reflect a growing appetite for systems that are cheap to run and easy to fine-tune rather than ever-larger frontier giants. For a platform that has become the default home for open AI, the milestone underlines how much of the field's activity now happens outside the big labs.
