Gartner had my post ridiculing Gartner removed (bsky.app)

Engineer and writer Gergely Orosz says Gartner had his critique of its 2025 Magic Quadrant for AI Code Assistants removed after he shared and ridiculed the report — pointing out that the Quadrant omits notable models like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex, while ranking Amazon ahead of Cursor. He linked to a GitHub blog post highlighting Gartner’s positioning of GitHub as a leader for the second year, and questions whether Gartner is embarrassed to circulate the Quadrant. This matters because Gartner’s Magic Quadrant strongly shapes enterprise buying, vendor reputations, and investor and developer perceptions. Omitting prominent models and making surprising rank choices raises concerns about the report’s scope, evaluation criteria, and timeliness — especially in a rapidly evolving AI code-assistant landscape where model capability, safety, integration, and data access vary widely. For the AI/ML community this underscores the need for transparent, reproducible benchmark methodologies and independent comparisons; without them, analyst reports can skew procurement and development priorities based on opaque or outdated signals rather than up-to-date technical performance.
