According to Data Beating monitoring, The Information reported that Tesla (TSLA.O) recently notified employees that starting from July 6, the internal AI compute and model invocation expenditure limit will be set at $200 per week, with excess requiring approval. Previously, engineers' weekly AI invocation costs could easily reach thousands of dollars. Over the past six months, the company has been promoting the AI unified platform "Bottle Rocket," integrating models from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and others, and gradually shifting from scattered usage to company-wide control. However, as AI is being deployed more widely for customer service, sales, and automation processes, cost pressures have quickly emerged, prompting the company to tighten its budget. This change reflects a shift that many companies are undergoing from encouraging unchecked AI growth to cost control. Meta, Uber, Walmart, and other companies have also tightened their AI budgets. For Tesla, this is significant because Musk has emphasized that the company's future value relies on AI products such as Robotaxi and Optimus robots rather than traditional car sales. Currently, Tesla's revenue has remained flat for two consecutive years.
