What this reading rests on
| Platform | Days counted | How the posts were collected |
|---|---|---|
| 7 of 7 | Collected live | |
| Bluesky | 7 of 7 | Collected live |
| YouTube | 7 of 7 | Collected live |
| Hacker News | 7 of 7 | Collected live |
| arXiv | 6 of 71 still settling | Collected live2 days low capture, 1 day late heavy |
Not counted: Google News and Exa, no longer collected.
A day counts once it has settled: once the posts still expected for it are below the threshold, or, for posts loaded afterwards from an archive, once they’re loaded. Coverage day by day is in this reading’s conditions. How coverage is recorded.
This reading was made with methods that are still being validated. Every figure says which state it’s in.
Why: Its methods are still being validated.

Attention
How many people posted about Pixtral on each platform, and Pixtral’s share of that platform’s posts. One row per platform, each on its own terms.
Not counted this week. Exa has no day in this window that counts, so it has no figures here.
Reddit. People hidden: n 0 people, below the threshold of 20 people. Share and posts hidden: n 0 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.
Bluesky. People hidden: n 0 people, below the threshold of 20 people. Share and posts hidden: n 0 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.
YouTube. People hidden: n 0 people, below the threshold of 20 people. Share and posts hidden: n 0 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.
Hacker News. People hidden: n 0 people, below the threshold of 20 people. Share and posts hidden: n 0 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.
arXiv. People not applicable: arXiv posts are articles, which have no authors, so people aren’t counted. Share and posts hidden: n 0 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.
In development. Spam, bot and incentive posts were removed with labels that agree with a stronger model at κ 0.74, below the 0.80 needed to drop this mark. The agreement is model-to-model.
Posts published 28 Sep – 4 Oct 2026, as of 8 Oct 2026 12:00Z; in development. People count distinct platform identities and are never added across platforms. Share is Pixtral’s posts over all posts AIDRAN captured on that platform in the window. Reddit’s posts include its comments. A normal share is pixtral's share of each platform's posts in the 17 earlier stored weeks of the same era (2026-W23, 2026-W24, 2026-W25, 2026-W26, 2026-W27, 2026-W28, 2026-W29, 2026-W30, 2026-W31, 2026-W32, 2026-W33, 2026-W34, 2026-W35, 2026-W36, 2026-W37, 2026-W38, 2026-W39), per platform.
