I very much doubt they want to make the Twitter algorithm really Open Source in the sense that they‘ll open the development up to external contributions, rights to reuse, and an open governance model. But maybe they want to publish it.

The distinction doesn‘t seem very clear. „Open Source“ has somehow become synonymous to putting the source code in a public github repo, but the original idea went much further.

I mean, which license would they pick? Wouldn‘t the algorithm be so Twitter infra specific that probably nobody could reuse it? So yeah. I think they could also write a paper and that‘s that.
