What constrains it
Evidence ↓- Headquartered in the United States, so US chip-export rules place no destination limit on itUS rules as of Jul 17, 2026
- No US Entity List entry matches itUS Entity List as recorded to Aug 21, 2026attested
What cannot be seen
Evidence ↓- No capacity contract is on record, and none of Alphabet’s own SEC filings is among its sources
- Capacity is recorded for 26 of 86 operating catalogue sites
- Subscription data holds further ownership records for Alphabet and places it at or above the 99th percentile of 5,377 organisations by number of supply relationships; neither can be republished
- No disclosure on record names a site Alphabet owns

No identified counterparty pair is available from the control disclosures for this comparison.
The review on Aug 12, 2026 found no conflict between the subscription data and the public claims cited here.
Sources and method
1 · How claims are graded
Grades depend on the source’s authority tier, the discloser’s role and the estimate flag.
Attested A non-estimated claim from a primary or research source, disclosed by the organisation, a counterparty or a regulator.
Reported Press or third-party reporting.
Inferred Derived or estimated, including announced capacity ceilings.
A value flagged as estimated grades inferred regardless of its source. This includes capacity ceilings announced by a party to the agreement.
2 · Data sources
Control. Ownership, operating and contractual arrangements, with supporting disclosures linked from each claim.
Constraint. Export-control designations anchored to Federal Register citations, the platform’s designation-to-organisation cross-reference, and rule-derived country access classifications.
Disclosure posture. The Global LEI Foundation golden copy (registration, parent-reporting declarations, and consolidation records), read by the organisation’s own identifier, plus its SEC registrant record where one exists.
Capacity. Facility catalogs, including Epoch AI’s frontier data-center catalog; each capacity figure links to its source.
3 · Search coverage
An empty section carries its search method and date if a search has been completed. Not yet searched means no search is on file.
Control claims cite their supporting documents; unverified leads remain in the search notes.
4 · Subscription sources
Subscription corporate data guides source searches and coverage checks. Published control claims cite the public disclosures that establish them.
Supply comparisons use broad percentile bands and corroboration classes to protect the licensed relationship data. The underlying records and identifiers are withheld.
