LLM Platforms
LLM platforms is a fragmented category with no single consensus pick. Azure Machine Learning and Databricks both surface across all engines we track (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), but Azure wins far more head-to-heads — 76 out of 100 on average versus Databricks at 59. LangChain captures the most AI attention in discovery (shows up in 79% of buyer queries) but has no evaluation-stage data, leaving unclear how it fares when buyers pit it against alternatives. Merlin is the riser, gaining eight points in recent weeks despite middling head-to-head performance. The category is contested: five brands split discovery share within twenty points of each other, and no brand dominates both stages.
