What this list is
This page tracks GitHub repositories whose names match “llm”. It is a deterministic name match, not a curated GitHub topic, and the distinction matters here: matching on the string “llm” tends to surface curated lists, API directories, and learning resources more than the models or runtimes themselves.
The week in new repositories
Across June 2 to June 8, new matching repositories arrived at 13 to 54 a day. The middle of the week was busiest, with 54 new on June 6 and 51 on June 7, and the stars those newcomers carried peaked at 196 on June 7. This is steady inflow rather than a single breakout, so the number to watch is how many new “llm” names appear, not a jump in any one of them.
What actually anchors the list
By stars, the list is dominated by collections and resources. Shubhamsaboo/awesome-llm-apps leads at 113,874, followed by the anything-llm app at 61,256, cheahjs/free-llm-api-resources at 23,118, and karpathy/llm-council at 20,406. Educational repositories such as DataTalksClub/llm-zoomcamp (5,970) and train-llm-from-scratch (4,513) sit lower down. The pattern is worth naming: a name match on “llm” mostly catches people organizing and teaching the space, not the language models at its center.
