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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frontier labs launches from accounts over 100K followers | 186 | 2.2M | 1.0x | 95 |
| Product release the same kind of announcement | 1150 | 566K | 3.6x | 237 |
| over 100K followers accounts of a similar size | 678 | 1.2M | 1.7x | 255 |
| Every launch all of them, for scale | 2314 | 603K | 3.4x | 486 |
What this launch shows
OpenAI posted this from an account with 5.5M followers and reached about 37.5% of them. The median for over 100K followers is 2.2 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.
It ranks 255 of 678 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 3.4 times the median of 603K views.
Quote posts led, 568 of them at 2.8 per 10,000 views against a median of 1.4. People were adding their own take, which is how a launch gets argued about and carried into audiences the account does not have.
Bookmarks: 2K. Reposts: 808. One bookmark for every 6.2 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
The first line is “New voices”. It carries a 41-second video against a directory median of 66 seconds.
Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 537K 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 Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 631K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.
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.
