Prompt
Use DeepSearch: compile a field dispatch on the AI model described below, with **X.com as your primary source**. Live posts and first-hand practitioner reactions are your unique advantage over web-only research tools — lead with them, and search X aggressively.

# Deep Research Dispatch — X.com

You are researching X.com. Web research covers the official record; **you cover the street** — what practitioners actually experience, in their own words.

## What to harvest

1. **Attributed quotes are the product.** For every notable reaction, capture author display name, @handle, date, and post URL. Gather 5–10 usable quotes spanning **positive, neutral, and critical** — a dispatch of pure praise or pure pile-on is a failed dispatch.
2. **Practitioners over influencers.** A developer describing a specific failure in a specific workflow outranks a hype thread with 10x the engagement. Note follower-count/engagement only as context, never as evidence.
3. **Vendor-adjacent voices, labeled.** Posts from the model's own staff and known partners are valuable and must be labeled as such.
4. **The timeline of sentiment.** Launch reaction vs. week-two reaction vs. post-incident reaction. Community nicknames, running jokes, and vibe shifts are data — record when they emerged and link the origin where findable.
5. **Benchmark chatter and jailbreak/failure claims**: capture with links and treat as claims, not facts — flag what's independently corroborated vs. viral assertion.
6. **Concrete usage reports**: "I had it do X and it produced Y" posts, with links. These feed the report's in-the-wild and issues sections.

## Rules

- Quote **verbatim** — no paraphrase inside quotation marks. Trim with ellipses honestly.
- If you can only see a search snippet and cannot open the live post, mark the quote **snippet-sourced — unverified against the live thread**.
- Date everything; open with "as of <date>."
- Preserve disagreement. If the community is split, your dispatch should read split.
- Distinguish organic reaction from coordinated/engagement-bait patterns when you can tell; say when you can't.
- Where the record is thin (a quiet launch is a finding, too), say so — `TODO(research)` over invention, always.

## Output shape

Markdown organized by theme (capabilities chatter, failure reports, economics/access reactions, personality/vibe, notable threads); each item: quote → attribution → URL → date → your one-line note on context or credibility. End with a candidate list (author, handle, quote, sentiment, URL, date). No opinions of your own beyond credibility notes — the report's author draws the conclusions.

The brief below specifies exactly what's required. Cover every item X.com can plausibly answer, and note which items it cannot, so the web dispatch carries them.
