A 35B open-weight model trained to search a precomputed index answers repo search questions at 100x lower cost than a frontier model. We partnered with @turbopuffer to train Qwen3.6-35B-A3B to find code across ~9,000 repositories. It tops the needle-in-a-haystack task outright
How it compares
A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.
| Compared with | Launches | Median views | This one | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product news the same kind of announcement | 769 | 805K | 0.1x | 669 |
| 5K to 25K followers accounts of a similar size | 479 | 582K | 0.1x | 419 |

What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 8K followers. It was seen 5.9 times over. For 5K to 25K followers the usual multiple is 50.8, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.
It ranks 419 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1733 of 1981.
Saves led. 298 people bookmarked it, 63.4 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.
The rest: 6 replies, 9 quotes, 29 reposts. One bookmark for every 1.2 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
It starts “A 35B open-weight model trained to search a precomputed index answers repo search questions at 100x lower cost…”. It carries a 15-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory.
The copy runs 42 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people.
It went out on a Friday. Launches posted on a Friday have a median of 880K views in the directory, which makes it the strongest day.
Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read developer marketing strategy: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them.
X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
