Index = weighted mean of the scored categories (weights renormalized over what was scored) · coverage 68% · confidence 49% · measured share 66% of the scored weight (opinion 34%). No “overall” is asked of the model. Scores are AI-assisted (disclosures).

Run history

Every published measurement, newest first. N is the run on the leaderboard now; failed attempts are not shown. Unranked runs show no Index; Δ and the Index trend compare ranked runs only.

A trend line appears after the second published run.

Measured — computed in code from reported figures

Joules · weight 30%

Energy throughput

1.3/ 10

Reported energy consumed: 299 GWh (2025) = 299 GWh/yr → 34.1 MW average → score 1.3, K = 0.153.

P = annual energy (J) / seconds per year → average watts. Score = clamp(2.5 × (log₁₀P − 7), 0, 10). Kardashev-equivalent K = (log₁₀P − 6) / 10. · confidence 90%

Watts of thought · weight 20%

Compute capacity

—no data

No verified operating data-center capacity was found, so this category is unscored.

Score = clamp(2.5 × log₁₀(MW), 0, 10).

Slope · weight 15%

Growth gradient

6.7/ 10

Compound annual growth: capex +29%/yr over 3y, revenue +14%/yr over 3y → score 6.7. Not available: energy (confidence reduced).

Opinion — model-judged against written rubrics, from verified quotes only

Opinion · Capability · weight 15%

Frontier acceleration

4.0/ 10

38x efficiency gain (2020-2025) on AI/HPC training exceeds target [E408]; modest cost-per-capability reduction but no first/best capability claims.

Opinion Rubric · confidence 44%

Opinion · Shipping · weight 12%

Builder velocity

—insufficient

Capex and revenue figures alone provide no cadence, deployment or ship timelines.

Opinion Rubric

Opinion · Policy · weight 8%

Permission to build

4.0/ 10

Climate policy and Paris Agreement commitment [E409][E410] indicate neutral/mixed record with no advocacy for permitting reform or open tech.
