Meta scraps AI usage in engineer reviews after tokenmaxxing
meta stops using ai tool usage in performance reviews due to excessive token use, now focusing on work quality, speed, and complexity.
meta will no longer use ai tool usage as a factor in engineer performance reviews. previously, the company had implemented ai dashboards and token counters, but it led to employees excessively using ai tokens, known as 'tokenmaxxing'. now, executives will focus on the quality, speed, and complexity of work. internally, ai use is projected to cost billions in 2026, prompting meta to plan budgets and a central dashboard for 2027.
