Capacity Wars: Securing GPU’s Without Paying Scarcity Premiums
As AI infrastructure demand surges, organizations face unpredictable scarcity premiums on GPUs and compute resources. These premiums spike during chip launches, regional power constraints, and sudden model feature changes. Instead of overpaying for priority access, enterprises should adopt a “capacity ladder” strategy, diversifying reservations across chip classes, regions, and providers, with pre-agreed substitution rights and pricing step-downs. Avasant’s AI Contract Intelligence framework enables organizations to secure throughput, avoid scarcity premiums, and future-proof their AI sourcing by embedding laddered reservations, chip-class equivalency, and dual-provider orchestration into contracts. The result: predictable costs, assured capacity, and resilience against supply shocks.
