Amazon shows solid efficiency gains and infrastructure investment with supportive energy-cost policies; SMR capacity remains planned. Model synthesis · opinion

Unranked · insufficient data
Not ranked: too little measured data: 30% of the scored weight is measured (needs more than 40%). 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.

Index = weighted mean of the scored categories (weights renormalized over what was scored) · coverage 50% · confidence 26% · measured share 30% of the scored weight (opinion 70%). 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.

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

—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

6.5/ 10

Compound annual growth: capex +27%/yr over 3y, revenue +12%/yr over 3y → score 6.5. Not available: energy (confidence reduced).
