AI model capability benchmarks
Epoch AI's benchmark bar chart drew 39.2K views on X: 0.6x its typical post and #67 of 97 Epoch AI charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
We've updated the Epoch Capabilities Index with three new benchmarks (APEX-Agents, ARC-AGI-2, and HLE) and several new models!
Why it spread
This post spread because it arrived at launch timing from an independent author, and the measured numbers show 330 likes against the account's typical 114, 32 reposts, 12 quotes, 69 saves, and 39,162 views, with a quote rate above average and source reach in the top quarter.
What worked
- The post pairs a clear headline claim that GPT-5.4 Pro leads the Epoch Capabilities Index with a narrow lead over Gemini 3.1 Pro, giving readers a simple takeaway.
- The chart is a branded benchmark-bars form with medium design polish, medium self labelling, and a visible source line, which supports trust without adding unusual form.
- The launch timing and independent author status gave the update a timely, credible hook that drove 330 likes, 32 reposts, 12 quotes, and 69 saves from 39,162 views.
What to borrow
We could reuse the benchmark-bars form and the framing of a fresh index update with a named leader and runner up, while keeping our own source line visible and letting the launch moment carry the post.
Careful
Do not over-read the narrow lead as a durable ranking, and do not copy the exact benchmark names, model names, or numbers, since those belong to this specific update.
