Anthropic PBC

Artificial intelligence Private anthropic.com ↗ San Francisco, California, United States

Strong policy advocacy and large compute pipeline; no direct frontier capability evidence. Model synthesis · opinion

Unranked · insufficient data
Not ranked: insufficient data: energy undisclosed and 57% of the remaining weight scored (needs 60%, including compute or growth). We publish what was verified, but an entity is ranked only with at least 60% of the weight scored, more than 40% of the scored weight measured, and confidence above 20%. Ranking rules. Missing data is never filled with a default.

Δ = change vs run N-1 (2026-10-09). Index = weighted mean of the scored categories (weights renormalized over what was scored) · coverage 40% · confidence 27% · measured share 50% of the scored weight (opinion 50%). 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.

Measured — computed in code from reported figures

Joules · weight 30%

Energy throughput

—no data

No verified annual energy-consumption figure was found, so this category is unscored.

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

Watts of thought · weight 20%

Compute capacity

7.9/ 10

Reported operating data-center capacity: 1.4 GW (2025) = 1,400 MW → score 7.9.

Planned / under construction: 15,000 MW (2028) — shown, not scored.

Score = clamp(2.5 × log₁₀(MW), 0, 10). · confidence 65%

Slope · weight 15%

Growth gradient

—no data

Fewer than two comparable annual figures were found, so growth is unscored.

Each available sub-metric's compound annual growth rate (up to 3 years) is mapped piecewise-linearly through the anchors, then combined with weights capex 50%, revenue 25%, energy 25% (renormalized over what is available).

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

Opinion · Capability · weight 15%

Frontier acceleration

—insufficient

No evidence on new capabilities, first-to-ship tech, or cost reductions; only infrastructure and revenue figures.

Opinion Rubric

Opinion · Shipping · weight 12%

Builder velocity

6.0/ 10

Multiple large power agreements and 1.4 GW operating capacity with near-term additions; plans for multi-GW scale but limited proof of record speed.

Opinion Rubric · confidence 70%

Opinion · Policy · weight 8%

Permission to build

8.0/ 10

Explicit calls to accelerate permitting, transmission, and executive action for energy build-out without added restrictions.

Opinion Rubric · confidence 69%
