I made a visualizer for Hugging Face models

I built hfviewer.com, a small tool for visually exploring Hugging Face model architectures.

You can paste a Hugging Face URL and get an interactive visualization of the architecture, which can make it easier to understand how different models are structured and compare them at a glance.

Here is the recent Qwen3.6-27B model as an example: https://hfviewer.com/Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B

And here is a side-by-side view of the Gemma 4 family: https://hfviewer.com/family/gemma-4

Feel free to try it out and give me feedback on how it can be improved! :)
