AMP Grid says bad scheduling and low MFU waste most AI compute
Kyrannio · x · 2026-07-24
The quoted AMP Grid remarks frame wasted AI compute as an infrastructure problem, not just an accounting one.
- Long-term leases can lose about 30–40% of FLOPs to bad scheduling.
- Inside the chip, only about 15% of FLOPs may be utilized because work is waiting on storage, memory, networking, or another chip.
- Combined, the speaker argues that roughly 85% of FLOPs can be wasted, which he describes as a national security issue.
