UnverifiedSome enterprises purchase GPUs ahead of schedule to seize the AI initiative, but actual compute utilization may remain below 50% for a long time.72% similarUnverifiedWithout a sufficiently optimized software stack, actual GPU utilization often reaches only 30–50% of the theoretical peak.64% similarUnverifiedCompetitors backed by hyperscale cloud providers obtain compute funding at hurdle rates of 6% to 8%, while Anthropic pays double-digit yields; this spread compounds over multiple years and may ultimately solidify into a structural disadvantage.64% similarUnverified对于MuJoCo、Atari等环境，单个环境的采样速度往往跟不上GPU计算能力，导致GPU利用率长期停留在20%–40%甚至更低63% similar
