@ArtificialAnlys charts Qwen-Image-2.1 gap to capability frontier

An annotated radar chart of Qwen-Image-2.1 against Qwen Image 2.0 drew 1.7K views and a 1.01% engagement rate.

What happened

@ArtificialAnlys posted an annotated chart on October 1, 2026, on the Qwen-Image-2.1 gap to capability frontier. It came with 10 other posts from the account that day, including the Artificial Analysis Intelligence vs Cost Index at 65.5K views.

The numbers

The post reached 1.7K views, #1,100 of 1,162 AI chart posts, against a median of 39.9K views among AI chart posts. Its score of 26 ranks #990 of 1,162 AI chart posts and #362 of 491 @ArtificialAnlys posts.

The lesson

At 1.01% engagement against a 0.12% save rate, this annotated chart drew comments and likes rather than saves. The 1.7K views against a 39.9K median among AI chart posts show the chart type did not carry the post.
