Uber Technologies Inc. has set usage caps on some artificial intelligence-powered tools used by its staff, a move meant to manage costs after the company blew through its AI budget earlier this year.
The rideshare giant is limiting all employees to $1,500 in monthly token spending per AI coding tool, an Uber spokesperson said in response to a Bloomberg News inquiry. That means spending on one tool doesn’t have a bearing on the budget for another. The limits, which have been instituted in recent months, only apply to agentic coding software such as Cursor or Anthropic PBC’s Claude Code.
