Record of changes

August 31, 2026 — statedlater found incorrect
Automated extraction from the cited source. Recorded automatically from the cited source when it was published, then queued for evidence review.
September 1, 2026 — withdrawnlater found incorrect
Evidence review against the cited source. The source confirms Polaris Forge 3 exists but contains no mention of the specific power capacity specifications (300 MW critical IT load or 430 MW grid-connected utility power).
September 2, 2026 — stated
Correction after re-verification. Re-verification found the cited source does support this claim. The earlier withdrawal was made in error and has been reversed. The source states exactly these capacity figures for Polaris Forge 3, but the attributed quote alters "delivering" to "delivers," so it is a near-verbatim paraphrase rather than a strict match.
