Benchmark saturation

Best score recorded on each benchmark by any evaluated model, as a running maximum. A benchmark at 100 percent has stopped telling you which model is better.

Models against the one binding compute threshold

The EU AI Act presumes a general-purpose model carries systemic risk once cumulative training compute passes 1e25 FLOP. It is the only compute threshold currently written into binding law anywhere, which is why it is the only one plotted. Of the 537 models here with a compute figure, 22 cross it.

Notable AI Models Epoch AI Licence CC-BY-4.0 Updated weekly Retrieved today Inclusion is editorial ("notability criteria"), not exhaustive. Compute figures are frequently estimates; check the per-row confidence and notes columns before treating any value as measured.

Compute figures are frequently estimates rather than disclosures. Treat borderline cases as indicative, never as a legal finding about any particular model.

Documented compute by country

China has the most reported clusters. The United States has most of the reported power. That difference measures disclosure as much as capacity.

Publicly reported GPU clusters by country, with documented power capacity.
Country Clusters Documented power With known capacity Share of clusters
China 188 296.9 MW 140 of 188
United States of America 119 1,962.8 MW 117 of 119

United Kingdom 6 12 MW 6 of 6

China reports 188 clusters at 296.9 MW documented, against 119 clusters at 1,962.8 MW for the United States. Capacity is published for only a minority of Chinese clusters, so the gap shown here is partly a reporting gap. GPU Clusters Epoch AI Licence CC-BY-4.0 Updated monthly Retrieved today Compiled from public reporting; each row carries a certainty flag ranging from confirmed to speculative. Chinese clusters are systematically less well documented than US ones, so country totals understate opacity as much as they measure capacity.

How the citation layer works

Attribution is structural here, not editorial discipline. It is the one architectural rule the whole project rests on.

  1. Register the source

    Every source is declared once with its licence, attribution, cadence and known limitations.

  2. Stamp every record

    Each processed figure carries a source id, so attribution is a join rather than a habit.

  3. Guard both ends

    The pipeline refuses to write data whose licence forbids republication. The site refuses to render it.

  4. Show it on the figure

    Any number opens its own source, licence and retrieval date on click.

Two sources are registered specifically so that using them fails the build: Artificial Analysis, whose free tier forbids redistribution, and the Stanford AI Index, which is licensed CC BY-NC-ND and therefore cannot be re-plotted. Both are linked instead.

Sources

No scraping, no paid APIs, no unlicensed reuse. Each of these publishes openly and is credited under its own terms.
