Which model answers

The SpainFacts decider (a small model, Qwen3.5 0.8B, fine-tuned with questions about these data) is downloaded once (about 1 GB, from Hugging Face) and runs on your computer with WebGPU. It only chooses between options (table, figure, period, place) and the code writes the SQL and the answer, so it does not make up figures. Nobody sees your questions.

This browser has no WebGPU. Try a recent Chrome or Edge, or pick another option.

How we work

Official and documented sources

INE, Banco de España, Eurostat, government ministries, REE, DGT, AEMET… Every chart links to its source table.

Context, not opinion

We explain what each figure measures and what it does not, without political judgements: you draw the conclusions.

Open and automated

The data are downloaded and published automatically every day; the code is public and anyone can review it.
