LocalAI ships as a Docker image and publishes no first-party PyPI or npm package, so Docker Hub pulls are the channel that actually measures its distribution. The pull count is cumulative over the image's lifetime rather than a trailing 30-day figure, so it should be read as a floor on current adoption rather than a snapshot of it.
