"For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees, Bryan Catanzaro, vice president of applied deep learning at Nvidia, told Axios."
"Pretty much 100 percent of Anthropic's code is now AI-generated, the company's head of Claude Code Boris Cherny claimed earlier this year."
"I probably spend more than my salary on Claude, Max Linder, a software engineer in Stockholm, told The New York Times last month."
"Uber engineers using Claude Code have already blown through the company's entire 2026 AI budget, The Information reported."
Companies are discovering that the costs associated with AI agents can exceed those of human employees. AI is increasingly used to generate code rapidly, leading to significant expenses from token usage. Some organizations, like Anthropic, rely entirely on AI-generated code, while others, such as Google and Microsoft, report substantial portions of their code being AI-generated. Tech workers often engage in 'tokenmaxxing,' resulting in exorbitant monthly bills, with some engineers spending more on AI than their salaries.
