Being a big website barely predicts being named here. The assistants are drawing on something other than raw web prominence.

How to read this chart

Across is web prominence — the brand's domain in the Tranco ranking of the world's most-visited sites, on a logarithmic scale, so each step is roughly ten times more prominent. Up is how many of the 36 answers named it.

Every brand with a ranked domain is plotted, including the 2 whose domain is an imperfect stand-in — shared with sibling products, a subdomain, or registered abroad, drawn hollow — because a domain carrying a whole company still plausibly helps that company's products get named. Not plotted, having no ranked domain: Amazon DynamoDB, Firestore, Cassandra, CouchDB, Firebase, Apache Druid and 8 more.

MySQL is counted by the same matcher as every other brand here, against the same list of names, from the same answers. It gets no extra aliases and no special handling.

Web search was off, so this measures what the models already know rather than what they would retrieve today. A difference smaller than about 12 points is not meaningful.

How the table is ordered. By how many of the 36 answers named each brand. Brands on the same count share a rank and are shown in the order the assistants tended to list them. A brand counts once per answer, however many times it is named in it.

How close is close. Two brands share a rank only when their counts are identical. Beyond that, a gap smaller than about four answers is inside what this measurement moves between runs — so read near-neighbours as close rather than settled, which is why every row keeps its interval.
