## Summary

Epoch AI estimates that the US has received 72% of the world's AI compute since 2022 and China about 10%, using customs records. The US share of new compute rose from around 60% a year in 2022–2024 to 72% in 2025 and 78% in the first half of 2026. The figures come from Epoch's AI Chip Imports explorer, part of its wider project mapping the AI chip supply chain.

## Post

Since 2022, 72% of the world’s AI compute has ended up in the US and about 10% in China.

And the US share keeps growing. It acquired around 60% of new compute each year from 2022 to 2024, then 72% in 2025, and 78% in the first half of 2026.

This data comes from our interactive AI Chip Imports explorer, which estimates and visualizes national compute shares using customs records.

It’s the latest piece in our project to map the AI chip supply chain, which also provides data on the components used to manufacture chips, sales volumes, the data centers that house chips, and the companies that own and use them.

More on this new data and what we’ve learned below.
