   "No frontier lab discloses chip counts directly. Almost every figure here is a model built from power capacity, spending, cloud contracts and data-center analysis — that's why the ranges are wide.",
   "H100e is a peak-throughput yardstick. It ignores real-world utilization, interconnect, memory bandwidth, and software differences between Nvidia GPUs, Google TPUs and AWS Trainium.",
   "Used ≠ owned. OpenAI and Anthropic rent most of what they use; Google and Meta own huge fleets but their AI labs only get part of them.",
   "Announced gigawatts are not installed gigawatts. Headline commitments usually land two to four years out and are often renegotiated or cancelable.",
   "Different views use different dates (end-2025, Q1 2026, Oct 2026) and units (H100e, GPUs, GW). Don't add or compare them across charts.",
   "Product scenarios and the Gemini Relay concept are speculation, clearly labeled. They are not company announcements."
