Each card is the lead measured statement of one platform’s first place: the stored statement whose figures include that platform’s people count, shown verbatim. Platforms rank separately; a subject leading two platforms appears twice.
Every subject’s place on each platform that counts people, side by side. Read down a column for one platform’s ranking; read across a row to see how differently the platforms rank one subject.

Distinct people who posted about each subject, 8–14 Jun 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 13:30Z; published. Each column is scaled to its own #1 and ranks on its own; nothing is added across platforms, because one person can post on several. Rows follow Reddit, the default platform. Hatched cells are hidden, never shown as a number. The stored reason, e.g. Hacker News ChatGPT: “n 7 people, below the threshold of 20 people”. Each column’s n 273,972 posts on Reddit and 324 on Hacker News.
Posts, no peoplearXiv and Exa are not ranked. Article sources have no authors, so people aren’t counted. Posts per subject, largest first:
arXiv n 414 posts · 85 subjects
Qwen 28, GPT 9, Gemini 8, DeepSeek 7 posts, and 81 more subjects
Exa n not recorded · 85 subjects
Not counted this week: Exa has no day between 8 and 14 June 2026 that AIDRAN counts, so there’s no figure to show.
The same subjects one week later, on the platform with enough people. GLM grew on Reddit while Claude eased.
Reddit · people per subject
Distinct people per subject on each release’s board, for subjects with n ≥ 100 posts in both weeks (25 on Reddit), as of 25 Sep 2026 13:30Z; published. Each panel on its own scale; lines join one subject’s two weeks. Each week’s n is its platform’s posts: Reddit n 273,972 and 249,259 posts. 2026-W24 and 2026-W25 follow on from each other, so their lines are joined.
When a post was written and when AIDRAN caught it are different days. For each platform, what was published each day against what was captured that day, and how much of the capture was catching up.What was published each day against what AIDRAN captured that day, and how much of it was catching up.
