Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.
How Saudi Arabia approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Saudi Arabia.
Running capacity. The site is operational or expanding. On record: named funder, disclosed client (confirmed), dated source in the last 24 months. Criteria.
19,000 Groq LPU accelerators are running in production as GroqCloud's second region globally. An actual deployment, not an inference from design.
A chip-vendor partnership or US hyperscaler relationship has been announced, but no government document names anyone involved. Signal, not licence. Criteria.
