- AI judgeJudge 2claude-haiku-5-5
- Launch of a dataset estimating AI chip arrivals by country; substantive methodology and cross-checks, relevant to AI infrastructure and policy, but limited direct actionability for most builders and estimates carry notable uncertainty.
- AI judgeJudge 3gpt-5.6-luna
- A newly released, methodology-backed dataset estimates global AI compute flows, revealing major geographic concentration and policy implications. It is highly relevant to AI infrastructure, hardware, data, and export-control analysis, though estimates have meaningful uncertainties.
