Fastest-growing AI GitHub repos: week 39, 2026

The week of 2026-09-21 to 2026-09-27, measured from our own daily star snapshots up to 2026-09-27. Each repo is measured between two of our snapshots 5 to 12 days apart, so some windows are shorter than the full week; every row shows its exact dates. This page is frozen: it was computed on 2026-10-24 and its numbers never change.

This week in numbers

whatstrending.ai stores its own daily star snapshot for 2,377 AI repositories on GitHub. As of 2026-09-27, 893 of them have a snapshot from the last 6 days, and 742 have enough history for a current pace.

That week, the median tracked AI repo was gaining 2.6 stars a day.

bilawalsidhu/gods-eye-view was the fastest-growing AI repo we tracked that week, at 944 stars a day (+4,722 stars between 2026-09-17 and 2026-09-22).

rocketride-org/rocketride-server accelerated hardest: from 135 to 785 stars a day, a jump of 650 stars a day.

cloudflare/security-audit-skill cooled hardest: from 2,368 down to 608 stars a day.

Of the 665 repos where we can measure both a current and a prior window, 100 are accelerating, 327 are steady, 190 have stalled and 48 are losing stars.

Accelerating hardest

Biggest increase in stars per day versus each repo’s own prior window — not versus other repos. Both windows and their exact dates are shown, because a 5-day and a 10-day window are not the same measurement.

Stalled: were growing, now flat

Repos that were gaining at least 1 star a day in their prior window and have since dropped to near-flat — at or below a third of their own previous rate. Ordered by how many stars per day they lost.

What this measures — and what it does not

The data is ours. whatstrending.ai records its own star and fork snapshot for every repository in its trending index and keeps them. This page holds 44,749 snapshot rows across 2,377 repositories, recorded on 101 snapshot days. GitHub shows a repo’s star count today; it does not show whether that number is climbing faster or slower than it was a week ago. That is the only thing this page reports.

History starts 2026-06-19. The most recent snapshot in this report is 2026-09-27. We hold nothing from before 2026-06-19 and we do not reconstruct it. Days with no snapshot for a repo are simply absent — they are never interpolated.

How a window is picked. For each repo: its newest stored snapshot, then the newest snapshot 5–12 days earlier (the current window), then the newest snapshot 5–12 days before that (the prior window). Pace is star delta / whole days between the two snapshots. Acceleration is current pace − prior pace. A repo whose newest snapshot is more than 5 days behind the newest snapshot in the dataset is excluded entirely rather than reported with a stale window.

Why the counts are smaller than 2,377. We snapshot a repo while it is in the trending index, so coverage is dense for currently-trending repos and sparse for ones that have dropped out. Of 2,377 repos with any stored history, 893 have a snapshot from the last 6 days, 742 of those have a measurable current pace, and 665 also have a prior window to compare against. Every list on this page states which pool it is drawn from. Where a figure cannot be derived from stored rows, it is omitted rather than estimated.

Which AI repos accelerated fastest in week 39, 2026?

As of 2026-09-27, rocketride-org/rocketride-server shows the biggest jump in star growth rate among the repos whatstrending.ai snapshots: from 135 stars a day (2026-09-17 to 2026-09-22) to 785 stars a day (2026-09-22 to 2026-09-27), an increase of 650 stars a day. The full top 10 is on this page.

How do you measure whether an AI repo is accelerating or stalling?

whatstrending.ai stores its own daily star snapshot for every repo in its trending index (44749 snapshot rows across 2377 repos on 101 snapshot days since 2026-06-19). For each repo we take its newest snapshot, the newest snapshot 5 to 12 days before that (the current window), and the newest snapshot 5 to 12 days before THAT (the prior window). Growth rate is the star delta divided by the whole days between the two snapshots. Acceleration is the current rate minus the prior rate. Nothing is estimated, interpolated or back-filled.

How many AI repos does whatstrending.ai track?

2,377 repositories have at least one stored star snapshot, recorded on 101 snapshot days since 2026-06-19. 893 of them have a snapshot from the last 6 days as of 2026-09-27, and 742 of those have enough history for a current growth rate.
