How to read these numbers

Article count is not confirmation count. Wire rewrites and same-outlet follow-ups inflate totals. Prefer distinct publishers and primary links on each story page.

But Anthropic and OpenAI may rapidly grow their compute share in the next few years. After that, continued scaling would require an economic transformation.
