October 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table v2026-10.8, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

4 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. InfluxDB 3 Core was named 4 times in Time series DBs, where TimescaleDB led with 63%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Standing by category

Every category where a model named InfluxDB 3 Core for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for InfluxDB 3 Core yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated InfluxDB 3 Core across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“InfluxDB 3 Core is free forever for self-hosting.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Time series DBs · budget prompt · alternative

“The open source InfluxDB 3 Core is MIT/Apache.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Time series DBs · budget 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.

“InfluxDB 3 Core when you need high availability. Core is the free, open-source, single-node option; don't mistake it for a replicated production cluster.” GPT-6 Luna · Time series DBs · negative prompt · soft negative

“free and open source, but its vendor describes it as a single-node option without high availability” GPT-6 Luna · Time series DBs · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named InfluxDB 3 Core. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 10 of the 10 answers that named InfluxDB 3 Core and are not a share of its labels.
