Our database of over 500 supercomputers (also known as computing clusters) tracks large hardware facilities for AI training and inference. LAST UPDATED JUNE 05, 2025 Selected insights from this dataset. The computational performance of the leading AI supercomputers has grown by 2.5x annually since 2019. This has enabled vastly more powerful training runs: if 2020’s GPT-3 were trained on xAI’s Colossus, the original two week training run could be completed in under 2 hours. This growth was enabled by two factors: the number of chips deployed per cluster has increased by 1.6x per year, and performance per chip has also improved by 1.6x annually. AI supercomputers have become increasingly expensive. Since 2019, the cost of the computing hardware for leading supercomputers has increased at a rate of 1.9x per year. In June 2022, the most expensive cluster was Oak Ridge National Laboratory Frontier, with a reported cost of $200M. Three years later, as of June 2025, the most expensive superco
