Hugging Face Daily Digest Oct 18, 2026

The Hub is quiet on official blogs. The trending list moved overnight. DeepSeek posted a 1017 checkpoint that slipped past yesterday, NVIDIA's 4B Dory is now visible with an official GGUF, and Tencent's memory writer climbed into the top 30 with a fresh FP8. Papers are still on the October 16 stack and MJev-Spatial is gaining upvotes.

On the Hub

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 is number one on default trending. The card is MIT and ungated. It was created on 2026-10-17 at 02:40 UTC, so it sat inside yesterday's window. The README calls it a minor update to the September 10 Flash parent. Author numbers show Terminal-Bench 31.2 to 42.3 and HLE 36.8 to 42.6. The shard layout is about 510 GB. Unsloth's GGUF repo is still a README only stub. The official card is here ¹.

MJev-Spatial
