OpenAI Developers engagement report
@OpenAIDevs - 401K followers on X
Measured over 14 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 717 interactions against 401K followers, an engagement rate of 0.179%. Measured over 14 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 99K times each, and 0.724% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 24.7% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 14 posts sampled, 57% carry an image or video, 43% are part of a thread and 50% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.1K interactions, about 1.6x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
OpenAI Developers's engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 34% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.179%, OpenAI Developers sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.431%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 717 interactions against 401K followers, an engagement rate of 0.179%. Measured over 14 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 99K times each, and 0.724% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 24.7% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 14 posts sampled, 57% carry an image or video, 43% are part of a thread and 50% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.1K interactions, about 1.6x its own typical post.
- What is OpenAI Developers's engagement rate on X?
- OpenAI Developers (@OpenAIDevs) has an engagement rate of 0.179%, based on the median interactions across 14 original posts from the last 30 days against 400,902 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.179%, OpenAI Developers sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @OpenAIDevs have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @OpenAIDevs post?
- Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.77 posts per day across the measured window.
