What counts
The 838 picture models people download from Hugging Face, 484 of them in families Outmake runs. A model counts on a Mac when it is in a family Outmake runs and runs great or well there; the explorer lists the rest.
Memory, and why no time yet
Memory is the app's own sum: a model's file plus its family's reader and decoder. Times are left out until runs measured on real Macs back them. Method.
