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 can't be told apart from repeat variation, and both are shown. Each index measures its own floor from its own repeat, over its own categories, so the floor differs from one index to the next. 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. How the floor is measured · Every change resolves to its category page.

The models asked

Fourteen models: the generally available models a buyer meets as a default in an assistant, with search on. Two joined this edition and zero left. A model joins at an edition boundary and stays at least three editions; movement is read over the models both editions asked, so a join never moves a share on its own. The roster rule.
