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.

“Do you already use Datadog and want cost insights embedded in your monitoring? → Datadog Cloud Cost Management” GLM 4.7 FlashX · FinOps · comparative prompt · alternative
“Best for: Organizations already using Datadog monitoring” Kimi K2 · FinOps · comparative prompt · alternative
And against it
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.
