Rankings

Comparative standing across 48 economies. Cognitive Power (CPI) is the primary, absolute-capacity ranking; CC is the per-capita lens. Sort any column; click a country for its profile.

◎

Cognitive Power (CPI) is the headline ranking — absolute national capacity. It weights what actually drives frontier power: AI capital mobilized, compute, frontier models, and robotics/automation, plus total research output. The US and China are in a class of their own — 95.0 and 90.6 — because they each mobilize hundreds of billions in AI capital and lead the world in compute, models and robots, while #3 (63.7) is far behind. The second lens, CC (Cognitive Coefficient), is per-capita intensity (HDI-style) — it rewards depth per person, so populous China sits #7 on CC even though it is #2 on CPI. Sort by either column to switch lens.
