@EpochAIResearch charts GPT-4o trained on 9x more compute

A scatter plot of GPT-4o and o1-high drew 1.9K views and a 2.48% engagement rate, the 99th percentile among AI chart posts.

What happened

@EpochAIResearch posted a scatter plot on August 2, 2025, on training GPT-4o on 9x more compute. It was one of 4 posts from the account that day, alongside posts on o1-high vs GPT-4o on GPQA diamond and MATH, compute equivalent algorithmic gain, and compute equivalent gain by benchmark and thinking level.

The numbers

It reached 1.9K views, ranking #1,081 of 1,162 AI chart posts and #44 of 59 @EpochAIResearch posts. Its score of 38 ranks #781 of 1,162 AI chart posts.

The lesson

A 2.48% engagement rate at the 99th percentile among AI chart posts came with a 0.21% save rate. The scatter plot drew 1.9K views, below the 39.9K median among AI chart posts.

What it means

At #31 of 59 @EpochAIResearch posts by score, this post trails the account's own median views of 5.3K by a 0.37x ratio. Its 99th percentile engagement rate sits against 1.9K views, #1,081 of 1,162 AI chart posts.
