Twitter open-sourced its Recommendation Algorithm

On GitHub, Twitter published 2 repositories containing code for many parts including the recommendation algorithm Twitter uses on the For You timeline. But, it doesn’t include the code for Twitter’s ad recommendations.

Interestingly, Twitter’s algorithm labels whether the tweet author is Elon Musk or is a “power user” or a Republican or Democrat. Twitter said it’s only for Metrics while Elon Musk said it should not be there. And as usual, they deleted the source code containing that part.

As the source code is open on GitHub, people have started posting the issues with its source code. You may also contribute please and some are expressing their hatred of Twitter in Twitter source code issues as they know it will be seen by Twitter employees lmao.
