Apple reportedly cuts engineers' daily AI spending cap from $300 to $200

In October, Apple reportedly cut the daily limit for spending on AI tools by its engineering teams from $300 to $200. Further cuts are on the way, with some engineering teams potentially dropping to $100 a day. Some non-engineering teams could fall to a $25 cap Many groups not in engineering are already capped at $100 per day. Some teams have been considered for a reduction to $25, people familiar with the change said. Staff requiring more can apply for an exemption via senior leadership. The cut is about a third of the daily budget. This is a big turnabout for a company that built AI into the way its engineers write and debug code. Budgets cover token spending, which is what AI models read and generate.
