This article argues that GPU utilization—not model quality or fleet size—is becoming the decisive economic constraint in enterprise AI, drawing a structural analogy to airline aircraft utilization. GPUs accrue cost by calendar hour (financing, depreciation, power, cooling) but only produce value by compute hour, meaning two companies with comparable GPU budgets will diverge based on how much hardware is doing useful work at any given moment. The bottleneck has shifted from model capability to compute efficiency.
