How Karotte launched on X
135K views, ranked 1508 of the 1981 launches we track. It was saved at well above the usual rate, which is the signal that matters more than reach for anything with a considered purchase behind it.
Today we are open-sourcing đ„Karotte, our framework for building RL environments. We've used it for the past year to build MLE RL environments for frontier labs, and it's been hardened through 1M+ evaluation runs and red-teaming.
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 | 0.2x | 587 |
| under 5K followers accounts of a similar size | 627 | 227K | 0.6x | 368 |

What this launch shows
Karotte posted this from an account with 1K followers and reached 99.7 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 161.4 times their following.
This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 368 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1508 of 1981.
Saves led. 1K people bookmarked it, 95 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: 89 replies, 47 quotes, 140 reposts. One bookmark for every 1 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The post opens with âToday we are open-sourcing đ„Karotte, our framework for building RL environmentsâ, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.
It carries an image and no video. 92% of launches in the directory carry a video, so this is the rarer choice, and the few image launches that travelled did it on the strength of the image.
The copy runs 37 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.
It went out on a Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 1K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following. For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product.
Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
