I don’t think there’s a good reason to think that Anki’s algorithms are anywhere close to perfect. Algorithms at big companies are validated through A/B or multivariate tests. Anki’s algorithms aren’t.
I probably would target A/B tests at maximum learning for a minimum time investment, if I would govern Anki.
Given the amount of people out there that spend time with Anki, I think Algorithm quality is likely still underrated. I think Anki still doesn’t ship the best algorithm it has by default.
