Why it moved the index

A completed, manufactured step-change in specialized AI compute expands the capacity to train and deploy larger systems and increases competitive acceleration. The record is hardware infrastructure rather than a new autonomous capability, limiting magnitude; first-party specifications and TSMC attribution support high confidence.
