# Companies Keep Buying GPUs They Can't Use

*December 24, 2025*

[Read on the website](<https://current.tinyfish.ai/issue/9/foundations/article/6916/companies-keep-buying-gpus-they-cant-use>)

Enterprises plan massive GPU expansion in 2025. Ninety-six percent will add capacity. Yet only 7% achieve above 85% utilization during peak periods. Fifteen percent report fewer than half their GPUs are actually working, even when demand is highest.

The gap between procurement and utilization keeps widening. Companies spent $37 billion on generative AI in 2025, up 3.2x year-over-year. Meanwhile, 74% remain dissatisfied with their job scheduling tools. The top cloud compute concern isn't availability. It's wastage and idle costs.

Watch what organizations do, not what they say. They're treating GPU scarcity as a buying problem when the real constraint is orchestration. More hardware won't fix broken resource allocation.
