@ArtificialAnlys scatter plot: Intelligence Index vs Cost

A scatter plot of Intelligence Index against cost drew 47.6K views but an engagement rate of 0.34%, the 12th percentile among AI chart posts.

What happened

@ArtificialAnlys posted a scatter plot on September 3, 2026, covering the Intelligence Index vs Cost tradeoff across AI models. It was 1 of 5 posts from the account that day, alongside an AI Coding Agent Index post and an Intelligence Index vs Output Tokens post.

The numbers

The post reached 47.6K views, ranking #547 of 1,162 AI chart posts by views and #149 of 491 @ArtificialAnlys posts. Its score rank is #808 of 1,162 AI chart posts.

The lesson

At 0.34% engagement against a 0.73% median among AI chart posts, this scatter plot drew views but few likes, reposts, quotes or replies. The 8-model comparison sits at the 12th percentile for engagement.

What it means

For @ArtificialAnlys, 47.6K views is 4.2x its own 11.4K median, yet the 0.34% engagement rate trails its 0.82% account median. The gap between reach and engagement is the story here.
