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 13 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.

“Best for enterprise skills development and talent depth: Cornerstone, with broad learning orchestration and skills intelligence built for large programs.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Learning experience plat · comparative prompt · alternative

“check if your current HRIS/LMS (like HiBob, Workday, or Cornerstone) has native internal mobility or mentorship modules that you can toggle on” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Internal talent marketpl · scale prompt · alternative

“Cornerstone Learning's Galaxy Skills engine connects skills with learning, performance, careers, recruiting, and succession planning” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Skills intelligence · comparative prompt · alternative

“Examples include Degreed, iMocha, 360Learning, Cornerstone Learning, Acorn, and SkillPanel.” Perplexity Sonar · Skills intelligence · 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.

“Strong Cautions — Major Red Flags ... clunky backend, steep admin learning curve, and uninspiring learner UI” Kimi K2 · Learning experience plat · negative prompt · hard negative

“Avoid enterprise giants like Cornerstone unless you have L&D experts—they're overkill and pricey.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Learning management syst · scale prompt · hard negative

“One of the most criticized platforms with ~30% negative mention rate” MiniMax M2.5 · Learning experience plat · negative prompt · hard negative

“What to Avoid: ... Cornerstone - these require custom quotes” Kimi K2 · Internal talent marketpl · budget prompt · hard negative
