据报道 Apple 削减内部 AI 使用预算
Apple is reportedly cutting budgets for its internal AI usage
据 Bloomberg 报道，Apple 于 10 月将工程团队的每日 AI 支出上限从 $300 降至 $200，部分额度还将降至每天 $100，工程外部门或在考虑每天低至 $25 的限额。报道将此与此前企业鼓励员工大量使用 AI、随后因账单成本转向限量使用的趋势相联系，并指出 AI 成本与生产率收益之间的落差仍是普遍顾虑。

Apple is cutting the daily amount its engineering teams can spend on AI, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. It’s a big change for a company that has worked to integrate the technology into its engineering processes.
In October, Apple lowered the daily AI spending cap for its engineering teams, decreasing it from $300 to $200, the outlet reported. And more cuts are in the works, with some allowances falling to $100 a day, sources tell Bloomberg. Outside engineering, Apple is reportedly weighing a daily limit as low as $25 a day.
TechCrunch has reached out to Apple for comment.
Earlier this year, a tsunami of tokenmaxxing took hold, with companies pushing staff to use AI as much as possible in the name of vaguely defined efficiency gains. The frenzy was short-lived, however, as bills for said tokens came due, and companies decided that token rationing might be a more fiscally sensible approach.
Concerns persist about an apparent gap between what AI costs to build and run and the (often unclear) productivity gains the technology is suppose to generate.
