Shocking difference between the 7b and 32b versions of DeekSeek R1 for programming. Asked to "build a simple ruby web app", the 7b model flunks and produces garbage. The 32b version nails it with options in both Sinatra and Rails. Can only imagine how good the full 671b hog is!

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

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Leads with a number
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: energetic
Mechanisms: Specificity
Written for: People building with AI
