Explains X's open-sourced algorithm for their For You feed, using Thunder, Phoenix, and a Grok-based transformer

Original Description

xAI just open-sourced the algorithm powering X's For You feed and it's a fascinating look under the hood. The system pulls content from two sources: Thunder, an in-memory store of posts from people you follow, and Phoenix, an ML engine that finds content from accounts you've never seen. Both get ranked by a Grok-based transformer that predicts how likely you are to like, reply, repost, or even block a post. The real opportunity? You can study and adapt this same pipeline to build your own recommendation engine for a newsletter, community platform, or startup.
