Same transformer structure as the Grok model
The X Platform Engineering Team recently announced that they have open-sourced a new X algorithm.
The newly released algorithm adopts the same Transformer architecture as the Grok model under Musk's AI company xAI. It includes all the code that determines which organic search content and advertising content to recommend to users.
Musk had announced on the 11th that he would release the new X platform algorithm as open source within a week, and he has kept his promise with this release.
"We will demonstrate the improvement process transparently, even if it is clumsy."
Musk said of the open-source release, "We know this algorithm is clumsy and needs significant improvement, but at least you can see in real time and transparently the progress we're making to improve it."
He emphasized X Platform's distinctive transparency, saying, "Other social media companies don't do this."
X plans to repeat this open source disclosure process every four weeks, with detailed developer documentation.
Strengthening Transparency After Controversy Over Blocking Cryptocurrency Posts
This algorithm disclosure comes shortly after controversy erupted in the cryptocurrency community over the recent blocking of posts related to 'cryptocurrency' by the X Platform algorithm.
The cryptocurrency industry has seen a sharp decline in the reach of posts containing certain keywords, leading to calls for greater transparency.
Musk's latest open-source release is interpreted as an attempt to address these controversies and restore user trust by transparently disclosing how the algorithm works. The industry is watching to see whether X Platform's transparency strategy will influence other social media companies.
