An internal version of our next major model produced 10 new results on long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, using roughly $2,000 worth of tokens at GPT-5.6 Sol API rates.
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 |

What this launch shows
OpenAI posted this from an account with 5.4M followers and reached about 33.5% of them. Accounts of that size usually reach 2.4 times their following.
This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 263 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 2.6 times the median of 688K views.
Likes led, 14K at 76.6 per 10,000 views against a median of 26.8, with the heavier signals closer to usual: 2K bookmarks, 579 replies, 373 quotes. A like is a reaction.
The post was enjoyed more than it was kept. One bookmark for every 6.9 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
The post opens with “An internal version of our next major model produced 10 new results on long-standing open problems in mathematics…”. It carries a 32-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.
The copy runs 34 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 Monday. Launches posted on a Monday have a median of 618K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Giving people something to reply to covers this: the conversation is what carried this one. For the next one, read why posts from large accounts under-reach: a post seen by fewer people than follow the account was held back by the ranking model.
What viral AI launches share is the guide for it: model launches are the largest category in the directory and travel on the demo. Every launch we track in Frontier Lab is on that vertical's directory page.
