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 release the same kind of announcement | 954 | 692K | 1.5x | 355 |
| 5K to 25K followers accounts of a similar size | 479 | 582K | 1.8x | 165 |

What this launch shows
OpenAI posted this from an account with 10K followers and reached 106.5 times that many people. The usual multiple for 5K to 25K followers is 50.8.
This one did 2.1 times that. It ranks 165 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1.6 times the median of 688K views.
Saves led. 7K people bookmarked it, 65.4 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: 243 replies, 166 quotes, 575 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.9 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The post opens with βπ Introducing πΎππππ³πππβ. It carries a 1:07 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 45 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 Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
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.
