Apple lowers employee AI spending cap, daily limit for some teams may drop to $100

According to TechFlow, on November 05, Yonhap News Agency, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that Apple is controlling costs by cutting employee AI usage budgets. Last month, Apple reduced the daily spending cap for some engineers using AI models from $300 to $200. Apple also plans to further tighten limits for some engineering teams, with the daily cap possibly dropping to $100. Several non-engineering departments have already implemented a daily $100 cap.

Additionally, Microsoft has tightened internal AI spending limits. Tesla has set a weekly $200 cap on employee AI spending. Uber has set a $1500 monthly usage limit for each AI coding tool. Meta has introduced token budgets and encourages employees to switch to in-house AI tools.
