X open sources its ranking algorithm, letting users see if they’ve been ‘shadowbanned’

X has open-sourced its 'For You' timeline ranking algorithm and core ranking engine on GitHub under Apache v2, making the codebase 10-15x larger than its previous open-source release by adding model configuration, filter, and ranking parameter details. A new 'Under the Hood' transparency tool lets users who posted 10+ times in the past month download a JSON file showing labels applied to their account or posts, which can be fed into an LLM alongside the GitHub repo for interpretation.

Why: If you ship content on X for a product, startup, or personal brand, you can now download your own ranking-label JSON from the 'Under the Hood' settings page and cross-reference it against the actual weighting parameters in the GitHub repo to understand why your posts underperform. For AI/ML learners, the open-sourced ranking code is a real-world production recommender system you can inspect and partially run outside X, which is rare.
