The directory lists Anthropic at Rank #1, OpenAI at Rank #2 and Databricks at Rank #3 in the 2026 Disruptor 50 category. The attached source is the Times Brasil account of CNBC's list. These are positions in that edition, rather than interchangeable Winner labels. 1

Other companies in this selection

Mistral AI appears at Rank #7, Canva at Rank #20 and Perplexity at Rank #31. Keeping those positions beside the company names prevents a short summary from making all six entries sound equivalent. The selection here is limited to the companies recorded in the directory; it does not reproduce the entire list of fifty. 1

How to use this ranking

A ranking gives a company a place within one publisher's edition and selection framework. It is useful evidence of inclusion and relative placement within that list. It does not, by itself, measure a company's suitability for a particular procurement decision or establish that one product is universally better than another.

For a citation, retain the list name, edition year and recorded rank together. Readers comparing these companies with entries in other award programmes should keep each programme's terminology intact. This briefing's publication date is separate from the source announcement date, and no new change in the rankings is claimed.
