As of 21 September 2026, Epoch AI's AI Data Centers tracker covered an estimated 46% of the world's deployed AI computing capacity, up from 26% as of March 2026, spanning 87 sites with a combined 13.2 gigawatts of IT power and about 13.7 million H100-equivalent GPUs
Epoch AI's AI Data Centers tracker gives independent estimates of power, AI compute and cost for individual AI data centres. It builds them from high-resolution satellite imagery, permits and knowledge of how data centres are built. Coverage is reported as the share of the world's deployed AI computing capacity. The live page keeps adding sites, so its current totals are higher than the figures dated 21 September 2026.
