Link: Musk says he’s going to open-source the new X algorithm next week

Elon Musk open-sourced Twitter's algorithm in 2023; however, the GitHub repository hasn't been updated since its initial release. Now referred to as X, the platform's code transparency has been stagnant despite the initial push.

Recent promises by Musk hint at a forthcoming open-source release of X’s new algorithm, aimed at providing insight into the platform's content recommendations.

Musk's commitment includes the release of X's algorithmic code, covering both organic and advertising content, with the promise of regular updates every four weeks.

Given past inconsistencies, such as the outdated Grok-1 repository which has not been updated in two years, skepticism surrounds his new commitments.

This skepticism is heightened by global criticism faced by Musk regarding Grok's capabilities in generating deepfake content, coinciding with his announcement.

The history of partial follow-through on such promises prompts caution, as there seems to be a pattern of under-delivering when it comes to openness and updates. #
