    How the figures were made

    Geography. Outlines use Natural Earth de facto boundaries. Distant parts may be omitted; located records outside the drawing are counted in its caption. Power circles use the same scale across countries.

    Counts. Counts retrieved 3 Nov 2026. Operating capacity and ownership shares include estimated capacity; a campus figure recorded as its full build-out, earlier phases and second records are shown apart rather than counted. Sovereign programme ratios use government-only announced amounts where available; each ratio lists its numerator and denominator.

    Export-control posture. Recipient and end-use conditions can change the outcome of a transaction. Classification review: 17 Jul 2026. Access basis: 0.00. The value encodes the embargoed access category. No inventory or calculation in this profile establishes the amount of AI compute in use.
