Mixture-of-Kittens throughput benchmark
Cursor's grouped bar chart drew 590.1K views on X: 7.8x its typical post and #9 of 22 Cursor charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
We're open-sourcing Mixture-of-Kittens (MoK), our MoE training megakernel for NVL72s.
Why it spread
The post spread because an independent author at an AI lab launched a megakernel with a clear speed claim of up to 2.37x faster than the strongest public baselines, and it drew 6,110 likes, 465 reposts, 166 quotes, 1,652 saves and 590,099 views, with a quote rate above average and source reach in the top quarter.
What worked
- The post text leads with a concrete, verifiable claim of up to 2.37x faster than the strongest public baselines, which gives people a reason to share it.
- The grouped-bar chart shows Mixture-of-Kittens achieving highest MXFP8 forward throughput across models, so the visual directly supports the headline claim.
- The launch timing and independent author status helped it travel, since the account is an AI lab and the source reach landed in the top quarter.
What to borrow
We could use the same form by pairing one bold, specific performance claim with a grouped-bar chart that shows our own model or system leading across several benchmarks, and by posting it at a launch moment rather than as a routine update.
Careful
Do not copy the low design polish or low self-labelling, and do not over-read the numbers as proof of broad adoption, since the chart only shows forward throughput across models and the post gives no comments or account-typical baseline for context.
