Reports indicate Apple has cut its internal AI usage budget.

According to Bloomberg, Apple reduced its engineering team's daily AI spending cap from $300 to $200 in October. Some quotas will be further lowered to as low as $100 per day. Non-engineering departments may consider caps as low as $25 daily. The report links this trend to the earlier corporate push for employees to use AI extensively, followed by a shift toward limited usage due to bill costs. It points out that the gap between AI costs and productivity gains remains a universal concern.
