X Releases Core Algorithm Code Amid Global Regulatory Pressure
X has open-sourced its Core content-ranking algorithm as regulatory scrutiny intensifies worldwide. The move, announced by Elon Musk on January 10, 2026, delivers on his promise to increase platform transparency within seven days—though the code arrived three days behind schedule.
The Rust-and-Python-based system employs xAI's Grok model to process 100 million daily posts, distilling them into personalized "For You" feeds. Unlike legacy rule-based approaches, this transformer architecture analyzes engagement patterns and introduces natural-language customization—a potential game-changer for cryptocurrency communities seeking greater control over their feeds.
