Elon Musk announced on the X platform that he will open-source the new algorithm within 7 days, covering all code related to content recommendations, and will repeat every four weeks. ZachXBT suggested reducing the algorithm's sensitivity, noting that likes on unrelated content may lead to a decrease in related posts. Meanwhile, CryptoQuant CEO pointed out that the surge in crypto-related posts on the X platform has caused the algorithm to block them.

On January 11th, Elon Musk posted on the X platform announcing that the new X platform algorithm will be open-sourced within 7 days, including all code used to determine which natural search content and advertisements are recommended to users. This process will be repeated every four weeks and will include detailed developer documentation. In response, “On-Chain Detective” ZachXBT commented that the X platform should reduce algorithm sensitivity. If users like or browse posts unrelated to their field on the “For You” page, they will be overwhelmed by similar posts, and posts from followed accounts or topics they participate in will not appear on the page. Previously, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju stated that yesterday, the X platform’s bot posted 7,754,367 crypto-related posts, a 1,224% increase. This caused “cryptocurrency”-related posts to be suppressed by the X platform algorithm.
