Vitalik: The open-source release of the X platform's algorithm is a very positive step, as the algorithm needs to be verifiable and reproducible.

By: theblockbeats.news|2026/01/12 02:22:30

BlockBeats News, January 12th, Ethereum founder Vitalik commented on Musk's statement that he will open-source a new X platform algorithm within 7 days, including how to determine recommended search content to users, a process that will be repeated every four weeks: "If done correctly, this would be a very good move. I hope it can be validated and replicated.

While this may not solve all problems, it can very effectively address concerns about algorithm transparency raised by me and many other members of the public."

"Furthermore, I actually think four weeks may be a bit too optimistic, as it means the algorithm needs frequent updates to prevent exploitation. The algorithm does need to be verifiable and reproducible so that users who believe they are being shadowbanned, downranked, and so on can view the algorithm's execution code to understand why their posts are not being seen."
