Ramp: Among the top 1% of companies by AI spending, more than a third of their budget goes to GPU compute
Ramp data shows that among the top 1% of companies by AI spending, more than a third of their AI budget is spent on directly purchasing GPU compute. Ramp counts LLM subscriptions, coding agent subscriptions, and API tokens as LLM spending, while GPU compute refers to paying for hardware capacity itself—that is, heavy users renting GPUs to train, fine-tune, or self-host models, rather than merely calling APIs.

Ramp’s top 1% of AI spenders send more than a third of their AI budgets to raw GPU compute.

while GPU compute covers paying for the hardware capacity itself (i.e. heavy users rent GPUs to train, tune or host their own models, not just call APIs.)
