GPT-5.6 Slay the Spire
Epoch AI's leaderboard drew 23.1K views on X: 0.3x its typical post and #80 of 97 Epoch AI charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
Over the last few weeks, we ran informal experiments testing GPT-5.6 Sol's computer use by having it play the video game Slay the Spire.
Why it spread
The post spread because it landed on a hot topic that week and rode launch timing, pulling 336 likes against the account's typical 114, along with 23,064 views, 67 saves, 15 reposts and 5 quotes.
What worked
- The framing is a story about testing a new model's computer use through a game, which makes an abstract capability question concrete and easy to share.
- The chart is a leaderboard of highest ascension reached, a simple ranked form that readers can grasp at a glance without extra explanation.
- It is branded, carries a source line, and comes from an account whose source reach sits in the top quarter, so the claim arrives with visible backing.
What to borrow
We could take one of our own benchmark questions and turn it into a small, plainly labelled leaderboard built from a familiar task, then publish it while that topic is still being talked about.
Careful
Do not over-read the quote rate, which sits in the bottom quarter, and do not assume the format alone drove the result, since the facts point to a hot topic and launch timing as the main reasons.
