Anthropic has launched Claude Sonnet 5.5: it scores 56 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, just 2 points behind Opus 5.5 (max), but at the highest Output Tokens per Task we’ve seen

Why it spread

The post spread because it paired a clear model comparison with a striking claim about output tokens per task, reaching 430,713 views, 3,356 likes, 303 reposts, 251 quotes, and 520 saves, with many quotes and an independent author driving discussion.

What worked

  • The post leads with a concrete launch and a specific intelligence score, then frames the result as just 2 points behind the top model, which makes the comparison easy to grasp.
  • The chart uses small multiples to show a tradeoff between intelligence index and cost per task, so viewers can see positioning across several models at once.
  • It is self labelling, branded, and includes a source line, which builds trust and makes the chart easy to share without extra explanation.

What to borrow

We could use the same small multiples framing to show our own models or options on two competing measures, with a clear headline number and a short comparison to the leader.

Careful

Do not over-read the spread as proof that the chart design alone caused it, since the account, the launch news, and the many quotes also drove attention, and do not invent missing engagement numbers.
