Bloomberg reports Apple lowered the daily limit some engineers can spend on tools like Claude and ChatGPT from $300 to $200 in October, with some teams possibly dropping to $100 or even $25.

Why it matters
The change shows a large company tightening spending on third-party AI tools. If other big companies follow, enterprise spending growth for AI vendors such as Anthropic and OpenAI could slow, according to the post's own framing. Watch whether other large firms report similar budget cuts or shift more work to cheaper and on-device models.
