Xbench
Measures firsthand X posts about frontier models and coding harnesses. An LLM labels each post's sentiment, aggregated per model per week.
Every label is public by post id so numbers can be audited. The raw corpus stays private. The score is net firsthand sentiment in percentage points, from negative 100 to positive 100.
