Standing by category
Every category where a model named MLflow 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.

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.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Start with Azure ML if you're Microsoft-aligned ... OR start with open-source MLflow if budget is tight” Kimi K2 · ML platforms · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Best budget-conscious default: MLflow plus the cloud provider your company already uses.” GPT-6 Luna · ML platforms · budget prompt · first choice
“Experiment Tracking & Registry: Use MLflow hosted on a cheap $10/month cloud VM.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · ML platforms · budget prompt · first choice
“I'd recommend MLflow (often via Databricks for managed ease) as the starting point.” Grok 4.20 · ML platforms · paraphrase prompt · first choice
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.
“40 distinct vulnerabilities (CVEs) across foundational tools and frameworks, including *MLflow*, *vLLM*, and *Hugging Face*” Muse Glimmer 30B · ML platforms · negative prompt · soft negative
“A free open-source stack (Kubeflow + MLflow + custom pipelines) can become an operational nightmare” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ML platforms · scale prompt · soft negative
“MLflow: Multiple critical vulnerabilities (CVSS score of 10)” MiniMax M2.5 · ML platforms · negative prompt · soft negative
“Open-source MLflow (higher engineering burden)” Kimi K2 · ML platforms · direct prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named MLflow. 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 55 of the 61 answers that named MLflow and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page mlflow.org exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Read September 29, 2026.
Names read as MLflow
What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as MLflow; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?
Claim this page
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 MLflow'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 MLflow, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for MLflow by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where MLflow is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name MLflow, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
