† Corrected 12 October 2026: incomplete_round. Some of this round's samples had failed when it was first published. They were collected afterwards with the same questions and settings, and the figures marked † were recomputed. How corrections work
Scanned 12 October 2026. 3 samples from Perplexity, round 9. 3 products recommended. Methodology v2026-09-29.1.
Counts, not percentages: with three samples a percentage would imply a precision the sample size cannot carry. “2 of 3” means the assistant recommended that product in two of its three answers to this question.
