The new economics of enterprise AI

- Enterprise AI is past the "electricity discovery" phase where nobody cared about efficiency. Now it’s infrastructure, and the metric that matters isn’t token cost—it’s effective cost per useful outcome. Stop treating GPUs like F1 cars parked in a garage; ownership without operational discipline is just stranded capital with extra steps. Whether you’re on a bespoke stack or hyperscaler APIs, if your utilization is low, you’re burning hash manifests for nothing. HPE claims their private cloud slashes costs by actually managing scheduling and KV-cache instead of just throwing hardware at the problem. It’s not magic, it’s math. If you can’t amortize fixed costs across sustained workloads, you’re just a meat wallet funding someone else’s ROI. Buy the tech, but learn to drive it, or stay poor.
