Elon Musk published X's AI-driven "For You" feed algorithm code to boost user engagement by personalizing content. The feed combines posts from followed accounts and AI-recommended posts based on recent activity. The algorithm limits repeated posts from the same creators and penalizes excessive posting. While new user time spent is up, Musk admits the algorithm "sucks," and usage is declining amid competition from Meta's Threads.

X has updated its API pricing to provide more flexible access for developers, moving to a usage-based model instead of a flat fee. This includes fewer rate limits and a new dashboard for cost estimates. Selected developers can apply for a beta program with a $500 voucher. However, the new pricing may not significantly lower costs, as the basic package appears more expensive than before. Overall, X aims to attract back developers who left due to prior price hikes.

Meta’s Threads is losing users to Bluesky after Trump's election. Bluesky's daily users in the US and UK surged by 300% to 3.5 million as academics, journalists, and left-leaning politicians left X. Threads, initially more popular, is now only 1.5 times larger than Bluesky. Meta reduced political content to avoid controversy, while X under Musk allows more freewheeling content. Meta introduced custom feeds to compete with Bluesky.
