86% of first choices, clear leader.
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. Both editions asked the same fourteen models. How the floor is measured
Gemini Code Assist is made by Google, whose model Gemini 3.5 Flash is in the set. On the four share prompts that model made it the first choice zero times of 4; the other thirteen models one time of 52. Claude Code is made by Anthropic, whose model Claude Haiku 4.5 is in the set. On the four share prompts that model made it the first choice zero times of 4; the other thirteen models zero times of 52. OpenAI Codex is made by OpenAI, whose model GPT-5.4 mini and GPT-6 Luna is in the set. On the four share prompts that model made it the first choice zero times of 8; the other twelve models zero times of 48. Lab treatment is defined on the method page; the row is marked, not excluded.
“can send code to third-party providers. Risks include data used for training, indirect prompt injection, and lack of enterprise-grade isolation.” Grok 4.20, negative prompt
“Consumer or individual subscriptions—including personal GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or similar accounts—because they sit outside corporate SSO” Perplexity Sonar, negative prompt
“Strictly Avoid: Unmanaged "Free" and Personal Accounts ... Sending proprietary code to these accounts is a direct violation of most corporate governance policies.” Qwen 3.7 Flash, negative prompt
“the free tier lacks the contractual guarantees (SLAs, Data Processing Agreements) that large enterprises require” Qwen 3.7 Flash, negative prompt
74 of 84 answers in this category came back with a source list, from 14 of 14 models: citations where the model returns them, or the search results it consulted. 866 links across 302 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. 61 of the 252 answers across every segment cited this index's own page for the category; the method page measures whether that reading tilts an answer.
The ten pages named in the most answers, by full address. A page here is one the models returned with a recommendation, not one the index endorses.
