TCL's latest visible AI Index is 3.3. Read the trend together with engine coverage and mention-rate signals rather than as a standalone forecast. That movement is useful context, but it is strongest when it lines up with engine coverage and mention-rate changes. A single score move should not be read as a full market or product signal.

TCL improved over the visible trend window, moving from 7 on 2026-04-30 to 9 on 2026-05-31. Use this trend alongside the engine breakdown to see whether movement is broad or isolated to a few engines.
