由於 Token 成本飆升，微軟限制工程師 AI 支出
微軟為工程師設定了嚴格的代幣預算，並將內部預設模型切換為更便宜的版本，標誌著從無節制的 AI 採用向成本效益型的轉變。
microsoft is restricting its engineers' use of ai tools like github copilot due to soaring token costs, with some employees spending thousands monthly. executive vice president jay parikh stated 'tokenmaxxing is not what we are optimizing for' and mandated a shift toward cheaper models like gpt-5.6 to get 'more impact per token.' starting july 2026, divisions will face specific 'ai token budget targets,' forcing a re-evaluation of how ai drives productivity. this shift underscores the growing tension between the hype of widespread ai adoption and the economic reality of running inference at scale.
