Apple cut some engineers’ daily AI spending allowance from $300 to $200 last month and is considering further reductions, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Some engineering teams could face a daily cap of $100. Some non-engineering groups already have a $100 limit, which could fall to $25, according to the report.
The budgets cover tokens, units of data processed by AI models. Employees who need more access would be able to request an exemption from senior executives, Bloomberg reported. Apple did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
