On June 15, according to The InformationMeta THIS TUESDAY, AN INTERNAL MEMORANDUM WAS ISSUED TO APPROXIMATELY 6000 EMPLOYEES ANNOUNCING THAT RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF AI BY EMPLOYEES WOULD BE IMPOSED TO CURB THE CONTINUING RISE IN INTERNAL AI COSTS。
The memorandum showed that Meta employees had accumulated 60.2 trillion tokens over the past 30 days, and that since then usage had climbed further to 73.7 trillion tokens, after which the internal ranking had been downlined. The company expects to spend billions of dollars on internal AI use this year。
WE SEE AN EXPONENTIAL INCREASE IN AI USE, ONE IN-HOUSE USE ALONE, AND THIS YEAR'S EXPENDITURE IS EXPECTED TO REACH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS。
To address this situation, Meta is building an internal platform called AI Gateway to track the use and expenditure of AI by teams in real time and to set up automatic warning mechanisms to intervene in time for abnormal consumption peaks。
The company also plans to introduce initial use limits and budget ceilings this year and to move to a more systematic management model next year, including rigorous budget allocation and tool support。
