How to design rewards for post-training frontier image models?
Why it spread
The post spread because it explained itself clearly and drew many quotes, reaching 21,110 views and 158 likes, which is 7.9x the account's typical 20 likes, with 13 reposts, 8 quotes and 32 saves.
What worked
- The chart is a benchmark-bars form that shows custom recipes boosting model Elo ranks, so the takeaway is visible without extra reading.
- Self-labelling is high and a source line is shown, which makes the claim easy to trust and repeat.
- The post text frames a real tension, that human preference reward is necessary but insufficient, which invites discussion and quoting.
What to borrow
We can pair our own benchmark-bars chart with a short, plainly stated tension in the text and clear labels plus a source line, so viewers grasp the point and quote it.
Careful
Do not over-read the quote rate or source reach, since the quote rate sits in the top quarter but source reach sits in the bottom quarter, and do not assume the same lift will repeat.
