"Musk said he is overhauling the recommendation system that decides which user-generated posts and advertisements are shown when you open the app. He also pledged to make that system transparent in the process, with the underlying code getting published on GitHub every four weeks. Musk said any changes to the code will be explained with every post."
"'We know the algorithm is dumb and needs massive improvements, but at least you can see us struggle to make it better in real-time and with transparency,' Musk wrote on X. 'No other social media companies do this.' X's engineering team has also said the new recommendation system is built on the same architecture as Grok, the chatbot developed by Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI. While X has not said the two systems share training data or model weights, the comparison signals a shift toward more AI-driven content ranking, moving beyond the rules-based and engagement-heavy systems the app has historically relied on."
X is revamping the recommendation system that determines which user-generated posts and advertisements appear in the For You feed. The engineering team will publish changes and explainers to the underlying code on GitHub every four weeks, with each update explained. Elon Musk characterized the algorithm as inadequate and emphasized real-time, transparent improvements. The new recommendation system reportedly uses the same architecture as Grok, xAI’s chatbot, signaling a shift toward more AI-driven content ranking. X has not confirmed shared training data or model weights. From launch in 2006 through 2015, the app presented posts in reverse chronological order.
