Meta and Microsoft Limit Employee Use of Claude AI Tools

Meta and Microsoft are significantly reducing their internal use of Anthropic's Claude AI, instead prioritizing their own proprietary coding tools like GitHub Copilot and MetaCode. Microsoft cut monthly AI spending limits per employee from $100,000 to roughly $10,000, while Meta's Claude Code users dropped from 60,000 to 30,000, though both companies continue offering Claude to external customers. This shift reflects efforts to control AI costs and maintain control over developer resources as coding assistants become essential to software development.
