🚨 Top 10 Open Model Leaderboard Update

Posted on X by @arena (Arena), Sep 18, 2025. Source: x.com · See its data

Why it spread

The post spread because it launched at the right time with a polished leaderboard design, earning 387 likes, 53 reposts, 5 quotes, 118 saves, and 45,856 views, which is 19.4 times the account's typical likes of 20.

What worked

  • The leaderboard format clearly shows top open models ranked by provider and score, making the update easy to scan.
  • The post text highlights a new number one and a strong debut, giving readers a clear reason to engage.
  • The design polish is medium and the post is branded, which helped it stand out while staying credible.

What to borrow

We could use a leaderboard format for our own data, pair it with a timely launch, and keep the design polished and branded to drive saves and reposts.

Careful

Do not over-read the quote rate, which is below average, and note that the source reach is only in the bottom quarter, so the spread may not be repeatable without similar timing and design.
