The range is not a forecast of this line: it is what GitHub lines in the same state (n/a) did 1 to 5 years later, 2019 to 2026, applied to today's level. Past 5 years it is stretched, not measured. Checked out of time (learned before 2022, scored after), 71% of outcomes landed inside the 90% range, so read it as wide. Open it in the Everything chart.

New public repos with the humanoid tag each week (Monday to Sunday, UTC). The outlined bars, last week included, are still filling in, as tags are often added days after a repo is created, so their height will grow a little. "Against the field" divides the change by what the typical tag did, so a wave that lifts every tag does not count. Hover for the numbers.

What it means

Studentslearning it, contributing, getting hired
  • Worth learning now: Humanoid is accelerating, 4x share of new GitHub repos vs a year ago.
  • Start by reading NVlabs/ProtoMotions (+77 stars in 3 months) and OpenHUTB/hutb (+73 stars in 3 months).
Founders and builderswhat to build next
  • Getting crowded: new repos 4x but attention -42%, so each new project competes harder for stars.
  • Talked about more than built: Hacker News +86% vs new repos 4x in a year, more talk per builder than the typical trend, so demand for builders may run ahead of supply.
Investorswhich fields deserve research time
  • Attention: 0.05% of new stars on the repos we track, -42% in a year.
  • Hacker News: 23 stories a month, +86% share in a year; Wikipedia 10.4k views a month, +4%.
  • Not investment advice: this measures what people build on GitHub, not any company.
Developers choosing toolswhich tools to adopt
  • Most-starred tools here lately: NVlabs/ProtoMotions, OpenHUTB/hutb.
  • The field is accelerating, so expect new tools and fast changes; pin versions.

Questions

Is Humanoid growing on GitHub?

Yes. Its share of all new public GitHub repos is 4x vs a year ago and +106% over the last three months (Sep 2026). Phase: Accelerating.

How many new Humanoid repos are created each month?

About 24 new public repos a month carry the humanoid tag (three-month average to Sep 2026), or 0.02 of every 10,000 new repos.

What will Humanoid look like in 2032?

Not enough history for a range yet.

Is Humanoid more talked about than built?

Talked about more than built. Over the year its share of Hacker News stories moved +86% while its share of new GitHub repos moved 4x. New repos grew faster than talk for most AI trends this year, so the label compares it with the typical trend: 1.7 times the talk per builder of the median trend.

Not investment advice. Measurements of what people build and star on GitHub, a statistical forecast, base rates and a model's reading of them. Nothing here is about any company's revenue, valuation or stock.
