May 2026 AI Development
Snapshot of AI-relevant GitHub activity as of May 2026: AI repo count, solo dev / web launch candidates, AI tool signatures — set against GitHub-wide event counts from GH Archive.
These count what we managed to observe that month, not what exists on GitHub. They move with our collection rate, so a change between months is not a trend. See the sampled share below for the GitHub-wide figure.
SAMPLE AI development share (random sample)
Based on 1,784 repos drawn at random from 2026-05 activity. The ± figure is the 95% confidence interval. Applied to the 11,747,368 active repos GH Archive recorded that month, this is roughly 941,633 repos. A share does not move when our collection rate does, so a slow month does not distort it.
CONTEXT Global GitHub activity (GH Archive)
Note: GH Archive's fork and watch/star coverage degrades sharply from late 2025. The values are shown as published by the source, but no month-over-month is derived from them.
