Adoption
1 medium confidenceGitHub stars are the only usage signal published for this repository, and a star is not a use. It underpins the filtering and PII pipeline behind The Stack and StarCoder, so its role in those corpora matters more than the star count suggests, even though the repository is no longer actively maintained.
