Key Research Findings
Critical insights from our comprehensive analysis of LLMS.txt adoption patterns
Zero Current Adoption
Our comprehensive scan of the top 1,000 websites reveals that not a single major platform has implemented LLMS.txt transparency standards. This represents a complete absence of formal AI training disclosure across the web's most visited destinations.
Massive Awareness Gap
The absence of LLMS.txt files suggests either widespread unawareness of the standard or deliberate non-adoption. Major platforms like Google, Facebook, and Amazon show no evidence of considering AI training transparency protocols.
First-Mover Advantage
