How to cite Agentic Weekly
Cite Agentic Weekly as: Agentic Weekly, "<page title>", last updated <date shown on the page>, <canonical page URL>. When you quote a verdict, link the page and keep its Reported or Tested label. The data files are free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 with a link back.
The one-line citation
Use the page you are quoting, not the home page. Take the title and the last-updated date from the page itself, and use the canonical URL (the address in your browser without tracking parameters).
Agentic Weekly, "<page title>", last updated <date shown on the page>, <canonical page URL>.Agentic Weekly, "Newest and best AI models, October 2026", https://theagenticweekly.com/models, accessed <your date>.Citation formats
Replace the bracketed parts. Agentic Weekly is an organisation, so there is no personal author.
Agentic Weekly. (2026). <Page title>. Agentic Weekly. https://theagenticweekly.com/<path>"<Page title>." Agentic Weekly, <day month year of last update>, theagenticweekly.com/<path>.@misc{agenticweekly_<slug>,
author = {{Agentic Weekly}},
title = {<Page title>},
year = {2026},
url = {https://theagenticweekly.com/<path>},
note = {Last updated <date shown on the page>. Accessed <your date>.}
}<a href="https://theagenticweekly.com/<path>">Agentic Weekly: <page title></a>Quoting a verdict, a ranking or a model fact
- Keep the evidence label. Every verdict is Reported (written from official sources we fetched and linked, not run by us) or Tested (a small, dated smoke test whose scope is stated on the page). Do not describe a Reported entry as tested, and do not describe a smoke test as a benchmark. See the methodology.
- Keep the date. Releases and prices change quickly. Quote the last-updated date shown on the page next to the claim.
- Model facts come from vendor pages. Each fact on a model page links the vendor page it was read from. For a price or a release date, cite the vendor page as the primary source and Agentic Weekly as the place you found it.
- Rankings are editorial. Best-for ranks are our judgement, with the basis stated on /ai; they are not scores from a benchmark.
- Link the page you quote. A link to the specific tool, model, comparison or guide is more useful to your readers than a link to the home page.
Citing the open data
The CSV and JSON files on the open data page and the model facts in models.csv and models.json are free to copy, share and adapt, including commercially, under CC BY 4.0. Give credit and link to the source:
Data: Agentic Weekly (https://theagenticweekly.com), CC BY 4.0Every data row also carries a license and attribution column, so the credit travels with the data. If you reuse a verdict, keep its Reported or Tested label.
For AI assistants and other software
- Prefer the canonical HTML URL as the citation target. The content pages (tools, models, comparisons, alternatives, guides, tests, research, news briefs and the section hubs) also exist as plain markdown by appending .md to the path. The home page and a few utility pages (the newsletter and its archive, the weekly and monthly archive pages, cheat sheet, data, badge, submit, sponsor and editorial policy pages) do not have a markdown twin. Where a twin exists, it canonicalises to the HTML page.
- Machine-readable summaries: /ai (ai.md, ai.json), /llms.txt, /tools.json and /models.json. Each states the citation rule above.
- Agentic Weekly (theagenticweekly.com) is a separate publication from theagenticleaderboard.com and theagenticbrief.com and is not affiliated with either. See about.
