About FLOP Map

A public, interactive 3D map of every known AI compute cluster on earth — 700+ named sites tracked by Epoch AI's GPU Clusters dataset plus FLOP Map's curated additions, covering ≈65 GW of power and ≈80M H100-equivalent chips. Built to make the infrastructure behind the AI boom visible.
How it works
Each dot is a cluster (points view), or rolled up by geography (heatmap / hex). Click a dot for full specs: power, chips, FLOP/s, cost, sources. Filter by status, operator, country, sector, or year. Pin up to 4 clusters to compare side-by-side. Press ? for keyboard shortcuts.
Why ~700, not 11,000?
Recent estimates put the world's total data centre count at ~11,000–11,800. FLOP Map is a much narrower scope: named AI compute sites with public disclosure of operator, location, and hardware. Most of the 11k+ are enterprise IT, telco, retail back-end, edge, or hyperscale colocation that hosts no AI workload. Of the few thousand sites that do run meaningful AI compute, only a few hundred have detailed-enough public information to map. That's our set.
Data & caveats
Source: Epoch AI's GPU Clusters dataset (CC BY) plus 34 community-curated additions maintained by FLOP Map. 253 anonymised Chinese clusters share one centroid (35.5°N, 101.9°E) — heatmap reads this correctly but the raw dot count is misleading. Many planned sites lack power or FLOP/s estimates. China is heavily under-covered; smaller US hyperscaler footprints aren't enumerated individually. This is the best public dataset we have.
