Why this rank
Alphabet on AI Compute Ownership by Company
Some explanation inputs are unavailable. Not published: the evidence frozen with this snapshot, comparable prior ranking.
For each of seven reviewed corporate owners, select the latest cumulative Epoch record for every represented chip type, then sum component medians and component p5/p95 values. An owner is omitted unless all selected components contain the complete p5/median/p95 bands.
