苹果公司削减内部 AI 预算，并计划进行更深的裁减
Apple slashes internal AI budgets, with deeper cuts still planned
苹果公司上月将部分工程师的每日 token 预算从 300 美元削减至 200 美元，并计划进一步降低至每日 100 美元，部分非技术团队甚至可能降至 25 美元，员工可向管理层申请例外。苹果员工可使用 Anthropic 的 Claude、OpenAI 的 ChatGPT 和 Google 的 Gemini 等服务，部分团队将转向更便宜的模式或设备本地运行的 AI。
Tech companies are cutting internal AI spending, and Apple is the latest to follow suit. According to Bloomberg, Apple slashed the daily token budget for some engineers last month from $300 to $200. More cuts are planned, potentially dropping to $100 a day, and as low as $25 for some non-technical teams. Employees who need more can request exceptions from management.
Apple employees have access to services like Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Google's Gemini, Bloomberg reports. Some teams will be shifted to cheaper models or AI that runs locally on devices. The cuts fit the direction set by Apple's new CEO John Ternus, who's been pushing to make the company leaner. At the same time, Apple's R&D spending jumped 32 percent in fiscal year 2026, driven by higher infrastructure and AI costs.
Internal reactions are mixed, according to Bloomberg. Some employees see the old limits as overly generous to begin with. Others worry the cost-cutting could be a prelude to layoffs. Apple isn't alone here: Microsoft, Tesla, Uber, and Meta have all recently capped internal AI spending as well.
