Search covers subjects, readings, releases, communities, measured statements, quotes as pages show them, the glossary and the method. It never searches posts: the posts behind each figure are its fixed sample, on its page.

Superseded ·

A revision of this reading, made with more data or a new method, replaces it. Read again under assembler revision 005c-26 (a hidden figure no longer carries an estimate of its own size), which replaces the earlier assembler; and filters "posts not about AI or unclear removed (relevance run 61)", "templated automated posts removed on Reddit and Bluesky (templated-repetition rule run 518)", which replace "posts not about AI or unclear removed (relevance run 61)". Read the revision. The figures on this page stay as they were.

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. Bluesky, YouTube, Google News and Exa have no day in this window that counts, so they have no figures here.

Reddit. People hidden: n 2 people, below the threshold of 20 people. Share and posts hidden: n 2 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 haven’t been removed: their labels agree with a stronger model at κ 0.43, below the threshold of 0.60. The agreement is model-to-model.

Posts published 16–22 Mar 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z; 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 11 earlier stored weeks of the same era (2026-W01, 2026-W02, 2026-W03, 2026-W04, 2026-W05, 2026-W06, 2026-W07, 2026-W08, 2026-W09, 2026-W10, 2026-W11), per platform. Its figures are in those readings. Choose any number to see what it rests on and the posts behind it.

Communities

The communities the conversation about Pixtral happened in, grouped by platform.

Reddit

1 community hidden. r/LocalLLaMA n 2 posts, each below the threshold of 20.

Posts about Pixtral by community, 16–22 Mar 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z; in development. Each platform is drawn on its own scale. The word after each community is its type: who is there, not what it’s about (users are people who use one AI product; builders build with AI). A post counts once, in the community it was posted in.
