Share of voice weights each compared model equally: it is the average, across the models, of how often each one named the tool in its own answers, so a model probed more than another can't skew it. Model chips list which AI models named it this month; the pulse is the sentiment of that month's developer mentions across Hacker News, Reddit, GitHub, Stack Overflow, Bluesky and more.
