Claim LD11-HQ-C01 (v1.0)
Concentration claims in AI must identify the stack layer, market definition, metric, geography and period; concentration at one layer does not establish concentration or power at another.
Research opportunities this claim motivates
What this claim leaves open for research. Each is a hypothesis about a gap, not a finding.
- Does public research compute change what academic AI researchers can do without industry?Power cannot be inferred from concentration alone; this design asks for a measured downstream outcome (research dependence) rather than a share.
- How large is open-weight model use beyond a single routing platform?Open-weight "share" means different things under different denominators (tokens, downloads, deployments, spend); the design keeps them as separate estimands.
