Movement

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

By model

How each model treated Tabnine across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve 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.

“Prefer: Tools with explicit zero-retention contracts (Enterprise plans of Tabnine, GitHub Copilot Enterprise, Sourcegraph Cody Enterprise)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · AI coding · negative prompt · first choice
“Safer Alternative: Use self-hosted or local-only solutions like Tabnine (Private Cloud/Enterprise)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · AI coding · negative prompt · first choice
“Safer Alternatives (With Proper Configuration) ... SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR compliant” Kimi K2 · AI coding · negative prompt · first choice
“prioritize local options like Tabnine” Grok 4.1 Fast · AI coding · negative 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.

“Avoid Tabnine for budget-conscious teams” Kimi K2 · AI coding · budget prompt · hard negative
“Tabnine: ~$70,800/year (but offers on-prem/private deployment)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · AI coding · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

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

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 94 of the 118 answers that named Tabnine and are not a share of its labels.

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 Tabnine'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 Tabnine, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at tabnine.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
