Why it spread

This post spread because it landed on a hot topic that week and on launch timing, with the account's typical likes at 16 against 1,002 likes here, 67 reposts, 20 quotes, 108 saves and 65,980 views.

What worked

  • The headline states a clear ranking change, naming Claude Opus 5.5 as the new number one in the Coding Agent Index with gains across all three evaluations.
  • The post pairs the win with a tradeoff, noting the higher Cost per Task, which gives readers a reason to discuss rather than just celebrate.
  • The chart is a branded benchmark bar chart with a source line, medium design polish and medium self labelling, so the claim is easy to verify at a glance.

What to borrow

We could frame our own chart around a single ranking change, state the gain in points against the prior version, and name the tradeoff in the same breath, while keeping a visible source line.

Careful

Do not over-read the engagement as proof of chart quality, since the main reasons given are a hot topic that week and launch timing, and the quote rate is below average.

Use this chart via API

On the Max plan you can pull this chart's numbers with the provenance of each one, as JSON or CSV, with its redraw spec, or call it from an agent over MCP. Chart id 1d1e19a4ec2c.

Approximate values. Our two readings of this chart agreed only in part (confidence 0.30 of 1), so check the original before you quote a number. The API marks it lowConfidence, and ?min_confidence=0.5 leaves it out.
