the only things you need to know:
your account has a base score and it runs before your tweet is evaluated:
verified accounts: 100 automatic
unverified accounts: max 55
then multiplied by your follower/following ratio (only really a factor if it’s really bad), multiplied by your “restriction status”
no more manual engineering rules, grok 100% determines the algorithm
your posts live or die in the first 30mins with “velocity”:
minutes 0-5: shown to ~5-10% of your followers small outside of network sample
minutes 5-15: if engagement is strong, shown to 20-30% of followers and larger OON
minutes 15-30: if still performing, enters “for you” feeds at scale
older posts get trimmed and not given a second chance because they’re competing with newer posts that have stronger velocity signals
engagement weights:
>reply engaged by author: 75
>reply: 13.5
>profile click: 12
>repost: 1.0
>like: 0.5
>report: -369 (instant death)
>videos don’t really matter. 50% video completion is only 0.005
no “relevance” ranking between posts, the score is the score and it doesn’t change based on what else is in the feed or what’s popular today
We have open-sourced our new 𝕏 algorithm, powered by the same transformer architecture as xAI's Grok model.
