xAI posts Grok 4 Fast price and intelligence scatter plot

The September 19, 2025 scatter plot shows 104K views and a 0.73% engagement rate, landing in the Wide but thin quadrant.

What happened

xAI published a scatter plot on September 19, 2025, comparing intelligence against price. It was the account's only post that day.

The numbers

It reached 104K views, ranking #373 of 1,162 AI chart posts. Its score of 59 ranks #463 of 1,162 AI chart posts and #19 of 23 xAI posts.

The lesson

A scatter plot with 17 models drew 104K views, 4.6x the 22.4K median for this type, but its 0.040% save rate fell below the 0.076% median. The form travels; the saves do not.

What it means

At #19 of 23 xAI posts, this chart sits near the bottom of the account's own range. The 104K views clear the 39.9K median, but the 0.040% save rate leaves it at the 21st percentile.
