X's new algorithm is officially open-sourced, and Musk says he will continue to make significant improvements

Odaily Planet Daily reported that on January 20th, the X platform engineering team announced the official open-sourcing of the latest version of the X algorithm. The official introduction states that this algorithm adopts the same Transformer architecture as the Grok model under xAI.

Elon Musk responded afterward, saying that the current algorithm is still “quite clumsy” and requires continuous significant improvements. However, open-sourcing means users can see the entire process of algorithm optimization in real-time and transparently, and he pointed out that other social media platforms have not taken similar steps.

Previously, on January 11th, Musk stated that X would open-source the core algorithm code used for deciding natural search content and ad recommendations within 7 days, with plans to repeat this every four weeks, along with detailed developer documentation. Earlier, the algorithm’s adjustments to the recommendation of “cryptocurrency” related content had sparked widespread discussion within the crypto community.
