Asia vs Europe

Asia and Europe are close on tracked AI funding, so the interesting split is models, compute, and org depth. This page picks the chart shape from the data instead of forcing every comparison into the same visual.

01.5 — Why this comparison matters

The useful read region vs region

┌─ generated from funding, org, model, compute, and overlap signals ─────────────────────────────── ┐
Asia and Europe are close on tracked AI funding, so the interesting split is models, compute, and org depth.
Asia's biggest carrier is Moonshot AI: $3.9B (13.1% of tracked side funding). Europe's biggest carrier is Wayve: $3.5B (15.4% of tracked side funding).
The org treemap is shown because both sides have enough funded orgs for area to mean something.
Funding is HQ-based and limited to AI-native orgs. Compute is counted by datacenter location, so it can disagree with headquarters funding.
