Musk announced that "X will publicly disclose all algorithms within 7 days", including recommendation algorithms, and will do so every four weeks thereafter.

Elon Musk's latest promise is to open up the new algorithm of the platform to the public within the next seven days, marking a radical step in transparency for the social media giant. Musk posted on X platform on Saturday that this open-source initiative is not a one-time event, but will become a regular mechanism. He stated that X platform will repeat the algorithm disclosure process every four weeks, along with detailed developer instructions, aimed at helping outsiders understand the specific changes in the algorithm clearly. This announcement comes at a time when X platform is in constant friction with global regulatory agencies over content moderation and recommendation mechanisms. By regularly disclosing the algorithm, X may be trying to alleviate concerns about its opaque operations from the outside world, while also responding to users' doubts about the quality of information stream recommendations. However, Musk did not explicitly explain the specific motivation behind this sudden decision to open source. This move could have far-reaching implications for the digital advertising market and social media operating models. If the core recommendation logic becomes completely transparent, it will not only change the strategies of content creators, but also allow advertisers to more intuitively understand the reach mechanism of their content placements, and provide direct evidence for regulatory agencies to review for bias or manipulation on the platform. AI-driven recommendation mechanism transformation X platform is currently focusing on deepening the application of artificial intelligence technology in its recommendation algorithm. Musk had stated in October last year that the improvements in the information stream that users perceive are not derived from manual adjustments of heuristic rules, but more on the use of Grok and other AI tools. According to Musk's previous disclosures, the company's goal is to make the recommendation engine of X "purely AI-driven." The company plans to use Musk's artificial intelligence chat tool Siasun Robot & Automation Grok to evaluate over 100 million posts published on X every day. After being filtered by Grok, the system will push the most likely content that interests individual users. Musk has asserted that this mechanism will "significantly improve the quality of the information stream." In September last year, Musk had proposed a more frequent open source plan, stating at the time that he would share open source algorithms every two weeks. Although the adjustment is now once every four weeks, it still indicates that the company is trying to fully integrate AI into its core operational architecture. Although Musk has promised to disclose parts of X's algorithms several times in recent years, the actual implementation has been unstable. Prior to this announcement, some X users had complained that they saw a decrease in the number of posts from followed accounts due to platform changes. In response to this issue, Musk confirmed in October last year that the company had found a "major flaw" in the "For You" algorithm and promised to fix it. This announcement of full open source and regular updates may be a further step in repairing trust and technical flaws.
