Cat Paper Collection
As reported by Cisco, 90% of net traffic will be visual, and indeed, most of the visual data are cat photos and videos. Thus, understanding, modeling, and synthesizing our feline friends becomes a more and more critical research problem these days, especially for our cat lovers.
Cat Paper Collection is an academic paper collection that includes computer graphics, computer vision, and machine learning papers that produce experimental results related to cats. If you want to add/remove an article, please send an email to Jun-Yan Zhu (junyanz at cs dot cmu dot edu). We thank all the authors for their contribution and support.

An Open Source Machine Learning Framework for Everyone
prompts.chat is the largest open-source prompt library for AI, formerly called Awesome ChatGPT Prompts. It hosts curated prompts in CSV and Markdown, available as a public website, Hugging Face dataset, or self-hosted instance. The project supports multiple LLM providers including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, and Mistral. Self-hosting uses a Next.js setup wizard that configures authentication via GitHub, Google, or Azure AD, with PostgreSQL as the recommended database. CLI access, an MCP server, and a Claude Code plugin extend its reach into developer workflows. The codebase is MIT-licensed while prompt data falls under CC0. Its 166k GitHub stars make it an AI resource on the platform with 166k GitHub stars, and it has been cited by Harvard, Columbia, and Forbes.
f.k.a. Awesome ChatGPT Prompts. Share, discover, and collect prompts from the community. Free and open source — self-host for your organization with complete privacy.
Hugging Face Transformers (huggingface/transformers) is a Python library that centralizes model definitions for text, computer vision, audio, video, and multimodal machine learning, covering both inference and training. The README describes it as a pivot point compatible with training frameworks such as Axolotl, DeepSpeed, and PyTorch-Lightning, and inference engines such as vLLM, SGLang, and TGI, with more than 1M+ model checkpoints listed on the Hugging Face Hub.
