I mean surely it is great but my recommendations weren't exactly stellar in those years.

this aprt is not used for recommendations though. this is for analytics and internal testing and ensuring that different groups (+elon) don't get disadvantaged.

I wonder did they add that flag before or after the day when they accidentally made people see only Elon's tweets on their timeline: https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/13/23598514/twitter-algorithm-elon-musk-tweets

Parts of this code dump are for recommendations and ranking.

Idk man as a fairly well seasoned MLE I find their general architecture and scale of their combined models to be fascinating in-and-of itself.

Twitter sucks ass - but this is a beautiful piece of ML Engineering.
