The state of artificial intelligence progress

Compute, models, chips, data centers and benchmarks: the full trajectory of AI, quantified and continuously updated.

Training compute over time

Every tracked model with a known training compute, 1950 to 2026 — 25 orders of magnitude on a logarithmic scale.

How this is measured

Almost nothing here is disclosed by the labs. Training compute is reconstructed from hardware counts and training time; data-center capacity is inferred from construction permits, satellite imagery and power contracts; chip supply is modelled from earnings and shipment data. So every estimate carries its uncertainty with it — a confidence tag on an attribution, a 5th-to-95th percentile band on a supply figure, a note on how a compute number was derived. Those qualifiers are kept on the page rather than rounded away.

The underlying research is Epoch AI's, published under a Creative Commons Attribution license. What is added here is structure: one durable URL per model, per data center, per cluster, per chip, per benchmark — server-rendered, cross-linked and citable, instead of locked inside an interactive explorer.
