Factual AI compute, hardware and data

Meta's ratio of inference compute to training compute is probably much higher than most other AI companies.

Own records only Only the person's or their organisation's own records speak to it, so it is not scored.

Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

Reasoning

Internal compute ratios of Meta and competitors are not public.
