Comparison of the number density of ﹩{\mathrm{log}}_{10}({M}_{\star }/{M}_{\odot })\gt 10.﹩ galaxies found in CEERS vs. models. Here we show the sampled number densities with EROs removed (details in Section 3.5), the gray shaded region in our 95% CI. We note that at lower redshifts (z < 4), the models seem to agree well; however, they diverge at higher redshifts. Overall, we find good agreement with DRAGONS, MTNG, and SC-SAM at z < 4.5. At z > 5 we find a higher median number density than predicted by all models shown aside from FFB, where our results are best fit by the FFB predictions with ﹩{\epsilon }_{\max }=0.3﹩ at z > 6.
