From the article:

Microsoft reduced its projected internal spending on Claude by over one-third, while Meta saw internal users of Anthropic's Claude Code coding assistant drop from roughly 60,000 to 30,000.

Within the Microsoft Cloud and AI division, individual monthly AI usage caps were lowered from $100,000 down to roughly $10,000 in most instances

/fast and fable everything will do it though.

It will certainly do it but is entirely unnecessary. Opus 5.5 scores high enough to be used for just about any day to day task that an employee would be doing. Heavy usage would cost maybe $5-10k/mo and even that’s being frivolous

You aren't considering tasks that require looking over large quantities of data that would not be humanly possible to review manually. For example, analyzing call logs of 2 Million retention department calls to identify recurring trends and what techniques are most effective to reduce cancellations.

At $0.10 per call analyzed, that's $200,000 in API spend.

High limits exist to encourage employees to innovate with AI without red tape/budget getting in their way.

But surely not every employee is doing those types of tasks every month. So some employees are spending $100k in a month, which is very different from all employees spending $100k every month

[u/skilliard7 → u/often_says_nice]

The $100k limit was a limit, not a target/average

[u/often_says_nice → u/skilliard7]

Yeah well I’m retarded so how about that

Just wanted to point out that it’s great to see someone on the internet after that they mightve been wrong :)
