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

Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: punchy
Written for: People building with AI

you have to give @MicrosoftAI props for training all these in-house from scratch and getting ALL of them to near-SOTA. Mustafa built a full fledged neolab inside Microsoft in 2 years, that now MS fully controls from chip to model to harness. Absurdly impressive.

openai's new $10b forward deployed company is so locked in they can't even bother to server side render properly (jk congrats, nice win for UK AI 🇬🇧)
