GPU overcommit is allocating more virtual GPU capacity to tenants than physically exists on the underlying hardware, on the expectation that not all tenants will demand their full allocation at once.
Overcommit ratios are usually expressed as a multiple, for example 2x or 5x, meaning that much more virtual capacity is sold than physically exists on the hardware.
Overcommit is what turns modest hardware utilization into meaningfully higher margin, since idle reserved capacity that would otherwise sit unused gets reallocated to other tenants instead.
hosted·ai's scheduler is built to manage overcommit safely, aiming to keep performance consistent for tenants while letting operators maximize revenue per physical GPU. Overcommit ratios on hosted·ai deployments have been described as ranging from 2x to 5x depending on workload mix. See GPU cloud margins: why most neoclouds fail and how GPU overcommit fixes it.
