Enterprises Waste 95% of Expensive GPU Capacity

Enterprises are sitting on a massive AI infrastructure problem: average GPU utilization is just 5%, even as AI spending reaches $401 billion this year. Organizations locked into multi-year depreciation cycles are now stuck with idle hardware as fixed costs, regardless of actual usage. The crisis stems from a self-reinforcing procurement loop that made hoarding GPU capacity feel necessary during the peak silicon scramble. With CFOs now scrutinizing balance sheets, the gap between AI infrastructure investment and real-world utilization is becoming impossible to ignore.
