Gartner's first [Magic Quadrant for Enterprise AI Coding Agents, published on May 20, names Anthropic, Cursor, GitHub and OpenAI as Leaders](https://virtualizationreview.com/articles/2026/06/05/ai-firms-push-cloud-giants-from-leaders-quadrant-in-gartner-ai-coding-report.aspx). AWS, Google, Alibaba Cloud and Cognition are Challengers. Tabnine is the only Visionary, and Atlassian, BytePlus and JetBrains are Niche Players.

The same firms sit differently in Gartner's other 2026 AI rankings. In its [Magic Quadrant for Cloud AI Infrastructure, which covers 17 companies, the Leaders are Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft and Oracle](https://www.crn.com/news/ai/2026/aws-google-oracle-microsoft-top-gartner-s-cloud-ai-infrastructure-list-for-2026). Only Microsoft, through its ownership of GitHub, is a Leader in both.
