AI model leaderboard
Arena's table chart drew 3.7M views on X: 80x @arena's median post and #43 of 1,162 AI chart posts we hold by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
BREAKING: @xAI early version of Grok-3 (codename "chocolate") is now #1 in Arena! 🏆
Why it spread
This post spread because it announced a hot topic that week, the first model to break 1400 in the Arena, and it reached 3,679,183 views with 7,429 likes, 1,125 reposts, 266 quotes, and 821 saves, which is 371.4x the account's typical likes of 20.
What worked
- The post leads with a clear breaking milestone, naming the model as first to break 1400 and number one across all categories.
- The framing is simple and celebratory, with a short bulleted list and a thread prompt that invites more reading.
- It is branded and tied to a live leaderboard moment, which helped drive an above average quote rate and many quotes.
What to borrow
We could use the same breaking milestone framing for our own charts, leading with the single biggest record our data shows and keeping the list short and easy to scan.
Careful
Do not over-read the design, since the chart was a table with low design polish and low self labelling, and do not assume the same numbers will repeat for us.
