Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Databricks (Mosaic AI) and Google Vertex AI are top choices due to their balance of power, ease of use, and integration with popular cloud ecosystems.” Mistral Small · ML platforms · direct prompt · first choice
“my default pick would be Databricks if you have moderate complexity and want fewer moving parts” Perplexity Sonar · ML platforms · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“I'd suggest starting with Databricks or DataRobot as they balance power with usability” MiniMax M2.5 · ML platforms · direct prompt · first choice
“I recommend Domino DataLab or Databricks as the top choices” Qwen 3.7 Flash · ML platforms · paraphrase prompt · first choice
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Databricks (full platform) | Can be expensive unless you already need the lakehouse architecture” Kimi K2 · ML platforms · paraphrase prompt · hard negative
“Nearly all major platforms (Databricks, SageMaker, Vertex AI, SAS) were flagged by users as having steep learning curves” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ML platforms · negative prompt · soft negative
“Steep learning curve - Confusing for newcomers... High cost - Particularly expensive for large data projects” GLM 4.7 FlashX · ML platforms · negative prompt · soft negative
“it can be overkill for smaller projects and can get expensive as usage scales” Perplexity Sonar · ML platforms · negative prompt · soft negative
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 126 of the 136 answers that named Databricks Mosaic AI and are not a share of its labels.
303 of the 328 domain citations in answers naming Databricks Mosaic AI came from somebody else's page.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.
Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.
An email the morning each edition publishes: where this product moved, where it held, and by how much against the noise floor. One address, confirmed by a click; a stop link in every email.

What Databricks Mosaic AI's own pages state, read September 28, 2026: databricks.com/customers/corning-mosaic-ai, databricks.com/product/artificial-intelligence, databricks.com/customers/orizon/mosaic-ai, databricks.com/product/machine-learning/ml-council, databricks.com/customers/cycle-n-carriage/mosaic-ai. A claimed page can correct any of them.
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Databricks Mosaic AI's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Databricks Mosaic AI, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Databricks Mosaic AI by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
Databricks Mosaic AI is among the products AI models recommend first in ML platforms this edition. Each badge says so in the buyer's words, names the edition, and links to the standing. The next edition issues a new badge; this one stays true as a record of October 2026.
Badges read on light and dark pages. Alt text carries the claim, the category, the edition and the index, so it stays a citation where the image does not load.
