Microsoft and Meta Reduce Internal Use of Anthropic's Claude AI Amid Cost Concerns
Microsoft and Meta are reducing internal use of Anthropic's AI tool Claude, shifting employees toward their own AI products to manage rising costs and enhance in-house development. Microsoft cut its planned $1 billion annual spending on Anthropic by over one-third, encouraging use of GitHub Copilot. Meta halved its Claude Code users by promoting its internal tools Muse Code and MetaCode. Despite these changes, both companies continue to offer Claude to customers, maintaining their partnerships with Anthropic amid broader industry cost concerns.
