Reach against resonance

Each dot is a post. Right is more views, up is a higher engagement rate. The lines are the medians, so the four corners are the four kinds of post.

@EpochAIResearch charts compute equivalent algorithmic gain

A grouped bar chart on compute equivalent algorithmic gain drew 1.7K views and a 2.37% engagement rate, the 99th percentile among AI chart posts.

What happened

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

The numbers

It reached 1.7K views, #1,098 of 1,162 AI chart posts and #48 of 59 @EpochAIResearch posts. Its 2.37% engagement rate ranked #12 of 1,162 AI chart posts.

The lesson

A 2.37% engagement rate at the 99th percentile against a 0.73% median shows a grouped bar chart can hold a top-decile rate at 1.7K views. The 0.02x gap to the 87.5K median for grouped bar charts is the reach side of the same post.

What it means

At #40 of 59 @EpochAIResearch posts by score wiped out by a 0.33x gap to the 5.3K company median, this post's 2.37% engagement rate is the outlier. The 1.7K views against a 39.9K median among AI chart posts mark the reach ceiling.
