Meta and Microsoft have begun restricting their employees' access to Anthropic’s Claude AI, shifting focus toward developing and deploying their own AI solutions. Microsoft has reduced its internal AI spending limits from $100,000 to about $10,000 per employee, while still maintaining client-facing AI services that utilize Claude. Despite internal cuts, both companies continue to see rising client expenditures on Anthropic’s models through their platforms.
