Microsoft shows accelerating infrastructure spend and energy procurement with a sustainability target; no frontier capability evidence provided. Model synthesis · opinion
4.3 GW average power · 37.46 TWh/yr energy consumed (FY2025).
K = (log₁₀P − 6) / 10 with P in watts. Humanity today ≈ K 0.73. Computed in code from the reported figure — source: cdn-dynmedia-1.microsoft.com/is/content/microsoftcorp/mic....
Index composition
65% measured · 35% opinion · methodIndex = weighted mean of the scored categories (weights renormalized over what was scored) · coverage 65% · confidence 51% · measured share 69% of the scored weight (opinion 31%). 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. Planned capacity of 2.0 GW is reported but not scored.
Planned / under construction: 2,000 MW (2026) — shown, not scored.
Slope · weight 15%
Compound annual growth: capex +60%/yr over 3y, revenue +16%/yr over 3y → score 8.1. Not available: energy (confidence reduced).

Opinion · Policy · weight 8%
Carbon-negative target supports energy goals but lacks direct advocacy for permitting or open build [E250].
