The article argues that GPU utilization, not model intelligence, is becoming the key constraint in enterprise AI, drawing an analogy to airline fleet utilization. It describes how GPU costs accrue by the calendar hour while revenue only comes from compute hours, and notes that enterprises are shifting from API-based consumption to owning GPUs locally, turning the GPU into fixed infrastructure that must be kept busy.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://huggingface.co/blog/Dharma-AI/gpu-management:

> Utilization, not intelligence, is the next real constraint in AI.
