AI infrastructure leaderboard

OpenAI showed strong infrastructure momentum this week with a perfect datacenter news score and robust hiring (89/100), but lagged significantly in certification/DNS updates (43/100) and GitHub activity (40/100), resulting in a net -3pt weekly change.

Hugging Face's infrastructure growth score improved 2 points to an estimated 74/100, driven by aggressive hiring (78/100) and strong datacenter expansion news (80/100), though certificate/DNS management remains critically weak at 14/100 despite perfect GitHub activity metrics (100/100).

Cohere's infrastructure growth score rose 6 points this week to an estimated 54/100, driven entirely by perfect certification and DNS infrastructure metrics, while hiring (33/100) and GitHub activity (11/100) remain significant weaknesses.

Scale AI's infrastructure footprint expanded significantly this week with a +13pt jump driven primarily by strong datacenter activity (73/100) and aggressive hiring (44/100), though GitHub commits remain minimal at 15/100, suggesting infrastructure scaling outpaces engineering velocity in public repositories.

Mistral AI showed modest infrastructure growth (+2pts weekly), driven by strong hiring activity (67/100) and positive data center news, but undermined by weak GitHub presence (18/100) and minimal certification/DNS infrastructure maturity (24/100).

Anthropic's infrastructure growth score declined 2 points this week to an estimated 57/100, driven by strong datacenter news (87/100) but constrained by weak certification/DNS positioning (14/100) and moderate hiring activity (44/100).

Groq's infrastructure grew 11 points week-over-week, driven primarily by aggressive hiring (89/100) and moderate data center expansion signals (53/100), though GitHub activity (5/100) and domain/cert changes (16/100) suggest limited public infrastructure deployment this period.

Midjourney shows strong datacenter activity (+1pt WoW, 100/100 DC News) and aggressive hiring (56/100), but lacks certification/DNS updates and zero GitHub commits this week, suggesting infrastructure expansion is outpacing code deployment. Overall infrastructure growth score: **52/100** — heavy on capacity buildout, light on technical validation.

Stability AI's infrastructure growth score increased 2 points to an estimated 50/100, driven primarily by strong datacenter news (67/100) and solid hiring momentum (56/100), though significantly hampered by weak GitHub activity (9/100) and minimal certification/DNS updates (16/100).

Cerebras shows aggressive expansion with maxed hiring activity and modest datacenter news (+47pts), but critical infrastructure gaps in security certifications and zero GitHub presence significantly hamper credibility, resulting in a net weekly gain of +12 points.

Adept's infrastructure growth score increased 2 points this week, driven primarily by strong datacenter news (80/100), while hiring activity remained moderate (56/100) and technical indicators remained weak across certifications, DNS, and GitHub metrics.

xAI showed strong datacenter expansion momentum (+87 DC News score) but weak hiring velocity (33/100) and minimal GitHub activity (5/100), resulting in a net -1pt weekly change that suggests infrastructure scaling is outpacing engineering capacity additions.

Runway's infrastructure growth score declined 1 point this week to an estimated 29/100, driven by strong data center expansion (73/100) and moderate hiring activity (56/100) offset by poor developer platform presence (16/100) and complete absence of visible security certifications or DNS infrastructure signals (0/100).

Together AI showed moderate infrastructure expansion this week with a +14pt WoW increase driven primarily by strong datacenter activity (60/100) and aggressive hiring (56/100), though technical maturity indicators remain weak with near-zero certification/DNS scores and minimal GitHub presence (18/100).

Moonshot AI shows strong hiring momentum (78/100) but severely lags in infrastructure fundamentals with near-zero certification/DNS presence (1/100) and minimal GitHub activity (5/100), indicating rapid team expansion outpacing technical infrastructure maturity. The modest datacenter news score (40/100) and slight weekly decline suggest infrastructure investment isn't keeping pace with headcount growth.

Perplexity's infrastructure score rose 2 points to an undisclosed total, driven almost entirely by datacenter news (93/100), while hiring remains minimal (11/100) and GitHub activity is nonexistent, suggesting limited public development velocity despite apparent operational expansion.

Imbue's infrastructure growth score of 50/100 reflects modest progress driven primarily by positive data center news (+67 points), while hiring activity remains relatively weak (22/100) and GitHub development is minimal (20/100).

DeepSeek's infrastructure growth score jumped 20 points week-over-week, driven primarily by datacenter expansion activity (40/100) and moderate hiring momentum (38/100), though technical infrastructure indicators remain nascent with minimal GitHub development signals and negligible DNS/certification updates.

Cursor's infrastructure growth score improved 14 points this week, driven primarily by aggressive hiring (56/100) that outpaced minimal DNS/certification activity (5/100) and zero GitHub infrastructure signals, suggesting heavy investment in personnel over visible technical infrastructure expansion.

Inflection's infrastructure growth score declined 1 point this week to an estimated 64/100, driven primarily by modest datacenter activity (40/100) while hiring (22/100) and technical signals (GitHub, certs/DNS) remained weak.
