- Epoch AI projects the number of AI chips in use will double every nine months as a wave of AI computing capacity comes online in the coming years.
- AI milestones continue to accelerate, including an AI system passing the bar exam in 2023, reflecting the broader escalation in AI capability.
Why it matters: Doubling AI chips every nine months means an order-of-magnitude increase roughly every two years, directly accelerating the pace at which AI labs can train larger models and the cost curve for AI compute shifts — something every AI developer and enterprise buyer will have to plan around.
