The Rise of GenAI - Analyzing the npm public registry
This infographic visualizes packages published in the world's largest software registry given their keyword relationships. There is a link between two packages if both share one or more keywords. The large network reflects that relationship and community detection has been used to categorize packages into groups of interest. Given the applied search filter for 'openAI' and 'llm', it shows beautifully expected clusters for topics around 'typescript' or 'tokenizers'. Since launch of ChatGPT and related models such as GPT-4, npm packages publications around generative AI topics increased significantly.
The live report provides some basic interactivity including the package selection to see relevant details such as description as well as navigation in the network for better visibility. You can also view the ultra-high resolution version of the graphic (resolution: 1500x3000, size: 3MB, format: PNG) or the underlying SAS code used to download registry information and prepare the data.
Enjoy!
