Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: punchy
Written for: Engineers and technical teams

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀 Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety. FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety. All your videos will appear green - safety first, working software later.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

twitter hype is out of control again. we are not gonna deploy AGI next month, nor have we built it. we have some very cool stuff for you but pls chill and cut your expectations 100x!

🚨 GB News has won in the High Court against Ofcom—the first time Ofcom has lost a judicial review of a broadcasting code decision. This attempt to silence GB News shows free speech is under attack, but I thank the Court for defending The People’s Channel. Go GB News Go!

Google just found out that they can't rig the search market to exclude their competitors anymore. And soon a cabal of advertisers and agencies will find out that they can't arbitrarily engineer a boycott of Rumble & X. We've joined @X to sue them, and we'll see them in court.

New cursor model being teased at compile - same size as Claude opus and gpt 5.5 - trained from scratch, no more kimi base - 10-20x more compute vs composer - generally intelligent, not just coding Releases in the “Next couple of weeks”

With codex computer use + mac's iPhone Mirror app, GPT can use any app on your phone!!! Seems less accurate with clicks vs actual mac desktop apps, but it does work! Whats the best app to use this with?!

Interesting that OpenAI deprioritized their ChatGPT Mac app, but also made a codex specific desktop app Meanwhile Claude just stuck cowork & code it in a tab

$200/mo chatGPT mode = unlimited slow Sora generations. Oh heck YES Unlimited slow mode is the killer feature of midjourney. SO EXCITED Sora has it too. Once you dont worry about hitting limit caps it totally transforms how you can use the tool

Codestral @MistralAILabs first impression: 1. 80 languages is crazy. Finally someone included Swift. Which a lot of OS models skip 2. Really fucking fast. wtf. It’s a 22b model and it’s significantly faster than mistral 7b. Are they using groq to serve it?? Comparison:

Ooo new Claude iOS app!! Trying it out, fairly barebones, but much smoother than the web app on mobile. Tho why they gotta use the butthole logo???
