X Open-Sources Grok-Powered Recommendation Algorithm
Elon Musk's X platform has released the source code for its transformer-based recommendation algorithm, which leverages the same architecture as xAI's Grok model. The code, now available on GitHub, governs content prioritization for both organic posts and advertisements.
The MOVE aligns with Musk's broader push for transparency in AI systems. X's engineering team confirmed the algorithm will receive ongoing updates, with developer notes to facilitate third-party implementation.
This release marks a significant step in open-sourcing Core social media infrastructure, potentially influencing how platforms approach content discovery and algorithmic accountability.
