The open-source algorithm that powers X's For You feed, combining in-network and ML-retrieved out-of-network posts, filtering them, and ranking with transformer-based models. It includes ranking weights, visibility filters, model training code, and a label transparency tool.

Use cases

  • understand how the X For You feed ranks posts
  • study production recommendation and feed ranking systems
  • reproduce a proof-of-concept feed model training run
  • inspect content filtering and visibility rules on X
  • learn how engagement prediction weights work in ranking
  • build a social media feed ranking algorithm
  • audit algorithmic transparency of a major platform

When to choose

  • you want to study or audit a real production feed ranking system
  • you're researching recommender systems, engagement prediction, or content filtering at scale
  • you want transparency into how X ranks and filters posts

When to avoid

  • you need a plug-and-play recommendation library for your own app
  • you expect the full X production infrastructure, data, or serving stack
  • you want a small, self-contained project rather than a large multi-service codebase
