A typical post picks up 244 interactions against 277K followers, an engagement rate of 0.09%. Measured over 12 original posts, its engagement rate beats 57% of 20,183 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 42K times each, and 0.577% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 15.3% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 12 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video and 42% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.5K interactions, about 10x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #eccv2026, #paperclip, #rlc2026.

Compared with accounts its own size

Stanford AI Lab's engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,183 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 29% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.09%, Stanford AI Lab sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,313 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,313 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,878 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 16:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video92% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link42% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-+15%+14% to +16%32K
  • 92% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 42% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 392 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    💫 Astra is out Highlights: - Much smarter (evals are really saturating...) - Much more aligned & trustworthy - Better CUA (see this house Astra made in Blender) So proud of the team for training it! Still some issues: - Too much code slop - Astra asks for confirmation too often, which can feel lazy. Given how smart it is, we wanted it to be cautious, but likely overcorrected. We’ll fix those next! What else should we fix? Note: Astra follows instructions even more carefully than 5.6, including unwanted ones buried in old skills. I’d clean those up before using it. https://t.co/6R6dZOj0xu

    Catalog of incorrect AI predictions. Doomers from the rationalist cosplay community are left out, presumably because their predictions have a near 100% failure rate. When people proudly proclaim that we need to 'act now' or make laws because something is inevitable, point them at this list and tap it loudly because it ain't. https://t.co/VDVJeECxDr

    New paper! In subliminal learning, LLMs transmit traits (e.g. loving cats) though seemingly unrelated data (e.g. numbers). We proactively detect these effects as readable prompts. To do so, we use the surprising ability of models to verbalize learned soft prompts.🧵 https://t.co/24Ee9VPc3k

Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 244 interactions against 277K followers, an engagement rate of 0.09%. Measured over 12 original posts, its engagement rate beats 57% of 20,183 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 42K times each, and 0.577% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 15.3% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 12 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video and 42% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.5K interactions, about 10x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #eccv2026, #paperclip, #rlc2026.

What is Stanford AI Lab's engagement rate on X?
Stanford AI Lab (@StanfordAILab) has an engagement rate of 0.09%, based on the median interactions across 12 original posts from the last 30 days against 276,538 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.09%, Stanford AI Lab sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,313 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @StanfordAILab have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,183 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @StanfordAILab post?
Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.73 posts per day across the measured window.
