Meta’s Adam Mosseri says AI token budgets could soon be capped per engineer

Meta's Instagram head Adam Mosseri indicated that within a year or two, the company might impose limits on AI token usage per engineer due to rising costs that could match employee salaries. This move reflects a broader trend among tech firms managing escalating AI expenses by treating token budgets as a finite resource, similar to payroll or operational costs. Currently, Meta has no such caps but anticipates that pricing competition among AI model providers may reduce token costs in the future.
