Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for edX yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated edX across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If you need a formal degree or employer‑recognized credential, Coursera or edX are the go‑to platforms.” MiniMax M2.5 · Online course libraries · comparative prompt · first choice
“Alternatives with strong reps: Khan Academy (free), edX, LinkedIn Learning.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Learning experience plat · negative prompt · first choice
“Safer bets... edX... tend to grade better on consumer-friendliness” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Skills intelligence · negative prompt · first choice
“University degree or accredited certificate | Coursera or edX” Kimi K2 · Online course libraries · comparative prompt · first choice

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.

“Avoid: White-Label University Bootcamps (Trilogy / 2U / edX)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Skills intelligence · negative prompt · hard negative
“Examples: EdX and Coursera (when treated incorrectly). ... you should avoid buying the certificate” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Online course libraries · negative prompt · soft negative
“Not "libraries" for corporate—certificates extra, less flexible” Grok 4.1 Fast · Online course libraries · negative prompt · soft negative
“learners report usability and grading issues” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Learning experience plat · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

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

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 23 of the 32 answers that named edX and are not a share of its labels.

Names read as edX

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as edX; a claim can dispute any of them.

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 edX'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 edX, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at edx.org is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
