Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

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 is noise, and both are shown. 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.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“This opens up platforms like DV360 and The Trade Desk (typically through agency relationships)” Kimi K2 · Programmatic · scale prompt · alternative
“Need YouTube, Google TV and Google stack integration → DV360.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Programmatic · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“mid-sized companies rarely have the $10,000–$20,000 monthly minimums required to secure a direct seat with Tier-1 enterprise DSPs like Google’s DV360 or The Trade Desk” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Programmatic · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
“enterprise-level Demand Side Platforms (DSPs) like The Trade Desk or Google's DV360, which required monthly minimum spends of $10,000 to $100,000” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Programmatic · budget prompt · soft negative
“Platforms like Google DV360 and Amazon DSP have been called out in Adalytics reports for failing to *default* block MFA sites” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Programmatic · negative prompt · soft negative
“Enterprise-grade platforms (like Google\u2019s DV360 or The Trade Desk) often demand high monthly minimum spends” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Video ads · scale prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named DV360. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 53 of the 60 answers that named DV360 and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when DV360's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as DV360, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for DV360 by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where DV360 is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name DV360, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at the vendor's own domain is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
