5 AI models, 43 buying scenarios, edition 2026-w42, data as of October 16, 2026.

Fast panel: the fast or small current models of each vendor, not the full flagship panel.
beta: intervals not small-sample calibrated
Tiers, not strict ranks
How to read this
A position is only the order of the estimates, and arrows show how that order moved since the last edition: brands in one tier cannot be told apart from its leader at 95% confidence, and each rank is an interval. Rails show the conditional pick share (among answers that picked a brand) in shortlists of 4 (chance is 25%).
Changed beyond noise: for this brand alone, the 95% interval of its share change excludes 0. Lineup or panel changes between editions can cause it too, and it is never a rank claim.
