ST PAUL, Minn., Nov. 6, 2025 — Hyperion Research, the leading industry analyst and market intelligence firm for advanced computing and associated emerging technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and cloud computing, announced the results of their recently completed AI in HPC ROI study, entitled, “AI Investments for HPC and Advanced Computing Continue to Expand and Begin to Show ROI Results” that is part of its expanded coverage of the AI in HPC space.
The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the return on investments made by AI in HPC across critical science and engineering verticals. Key goals included creating a picture of investment expectations, snapshots of current integration projects in progress, budget allocations, provisioning methods, future plans, and challenges involving achieving desired goals in these areas.
Highlights from the study include:
- 75.8% of the sites felt that their AI projects met or exceeded expectations.
- 74.9% of respondents indicated plans to moderately or significantly expand generative AI to support HPC workloads, roughly 28% of those characterize this expansion as significant. Less than 3% expect to contract their use of AI, none of which would characterize that contraction as significant.
- Roughly 40% of respondents are already using agentic AI models.
“Readers will gain insight into how industry leaders are balancing AI innovation with the pursuit of tangible ROI in a rapidly changing landscape.” said Tom Sorensen, lead analyst on the report. Technical challenges and costs bring hesitation when it comes to broader adoption. These issues, combined with the high computing demands of generative models, have led to a slight slowdown in the high rate of growth. “The overall average expected growth rate is 36.6%, compared to 42.6% for the previous 12 to 18 months. This represents a slightly lower but still high rate of growth.” This signals a transition from reactive adoption to more measured, application-specific onboarding. To sustain momentum, future progress will depend on innovations that reduce technical friction and elevate AI from peripheral support to more central roles in HPC workflows.
