Zero of fourteen models named Great Expectations first on the direct prompt; one named Bigeye. Great Expectations was named by thirteen of the fourteen models and Bigeye by thirteen and Great Expectations carries 36 labels and Bigeye 40, so the shares are not directly comparable.
Named in two categories this edition.
Named in one category this edition.
Share is the count of first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts over all fourteen models, for a mid-market B2B company; rank is within the category; every quote names the model and the prompt it came from. Both figures come from the data quality and observability page.
Across every category in the November 2026 Edition, Great Expectations and Bigeye were named in the same answer sixty-two times, of the 95 answers naming Great Expectations and the 120 naming Bigeye. In those answers Bigeye took the first choice four times and Great Expectations three.

Bold names in an answer are the products the judge labeled a first choice; a model naming several gives each of them that label. The full answer text for every row is in the record.
Every negative label with a quote, up to three, then the highest-weighted positives, up to three. Six of eight in this category shown.
