Here's something worth noting: X's algorithm refresh is actually running on Grok tech, but not what you'd expect. It's not tapping into Grok-4, Grok-3, or even Grok-2—instead it's leveraging a more stripped-down variant that xAI open-sourced back in 2021. Think of it as the foundational transformer model rather than the latest and greatest. Interesting choice that raises questions about stability versus cutting-edge performance in production systems.

ngl Running the online system with the 2021 model, is this stable or just giving up...

ngl using the 2021 model to hold the scene, is stability everything or just laziness?

Running the production system with the 2021 model? xAI, what are you playing at? I understand the logic of prioritizing stability over performance, but this is too conservative.

Running the current algorithm with the 2021 model, is that a prudent approach or laziness?

Haha, you're actually using the 2021 version. Stability is indeed important, but this is way too conservative.

Haha, using the old model from 2021 for production and environmental protection—it's just for stability. As long as it works, that's all that matters.
