What happened
Accenture, a large consulting firm, has set a tight ceiling on how much it will pay for employees' use of Anthropic's Claude AI. According to an internal announcement seen by 404 Media, the company will now centrally fund only $29 per employee each month. Some employees who had spent as much as $1,000 monthly are scrambling to find ways to keep access to the tool.
Why it matters
The change sharply cuts the amount the company covers for staff use of the AI tool. Employees who relied on heavy usage must now find other ways to keep working with it.
