AI benchmark performance
Epoch AI's scatter plot drew 30.9K views on X: 0.5x its typical post and #73 of 97 Epoch AI charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
We’re excited to announce a major update to the Epoch AI Benchmarking Hub!
Why it spread
This post spread because it announced a major update to the Epoch AI Benchmarking Hub with a scatter chart showing AI model accuracy on PhD science questions over time, and it earned 189 likes, 21 reposts, 10 quotes, 65 saves, and 30,902 views, with a quote rate in the top quarter and source reach in the top quarter.
What worked
- The chart explains itself, so viewers could understand the accuracy over time story without extra context.
- The post drew many quotes, landing in the top quarter for quote rate, which helped the chart travel through discussion.
- The account is branded and the chart is self labelling, so the update felt like a clear, credible release from a known source.
What to borrow
We could frame our own chart as a major update to a hub or dataset, use a scatter plot to show performance over time, and make the chart explain itself so it can spread through quotes and saves.
Careful
Do not over read the 189 likes against the account typical likes of 114, and do not assume the same result without the branded hub framing and the top quarter source reach.
