Evidence limited to sustainability targets and financial metrics; no frontier tech, build speed or external policy positions shown. Model synthesis · opinion
255 MW average power · 2.24 TWh/yr energy consumed (2024).
K = (log₁₀P − 6) / 10 with P in watts. Humanity today ≈ K 0.73. Computed in code from the reported figure — source: ibm.com/responsibility/environment/energy-climate.
Index composition
65% measured · 35% opinion · methodIndex = weighted mean of the scored categories (weights renormalized over what was scored) · coverage 53% · confidence 46% · measured share 85% of the scored weight (opinion 15%). No “overall” is asked of the model. Scores are AI-assisted (disclosures).
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.

Watts of thought · weight 20%
No verified operating data-center capacity was found, so this category is unscored.
Slope · weight 15%
Compound annual growth: capex -7%/yr over 3y, revenue +4%/yr over 3y, energy -2%/yr over 1y → score 2.8.
Opinion · Capability · weight 15%
No evidence of new capabilities, cost reductions or open releases.
Opinion · Shipping · weight 12%
Capex and revenue figures show no deployment cadence or first-of-a-kind builds.
Opinion · Policy · weight 8%
Internal net-zero and renewable procurement targets only; no advocacy on permitting, open tech or others' build rights [E426][E428].
