内容总结：

据彭博社周三报道，苹果公司正在削减其工程团队每日可用于人工智能的支出额度。对于一家一直致力于将人工智能技术融入工程流程的公司而言，这是一项重大转变。

报道称，今年10月，苹果已将工程团队的每日AI支出上限从300美元下调至200美元。据知情人士向彭博社透露，后续还将进一步削减，部分团队的额度将降至每天100美元。据报道，在工程部门之外，苹果还在考虑将每日限额压低至25美元。

TechCrunch已联系苹果公司寻求置评。

今年早些时候，一股“token狂欢”浪潮席卷科技行业，各大公司以模糊定义的效率提升为名，鼓励员工尽可能多地使用人工智能。然而这股热潮昙花一现——当token账单到期时，企业纷纷认定，对token进行配给或许是更符合财务理性的选择。

与此同时，业界对人工智能构建和运行成本与其所能带来的（往往不甚明确的）生产力提升之间明显脱节的担忧，依然持续存在。

Apple is cutting the daily amount its engineering teams can spend on AI, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. It’s a big change for a company that has worked to integrate the technology into its engineering processes.
In October, Apple lowered the daily AI spending cap for its engineering teams, decreasing it from $300 to $200, the outlet reported. And more cuts are in the works, with some allowances falling to $100 a day, sources tell Bloomberg. Outside engineering, Apple is reportedly weighing a daily limit as low as $25 a day.
TechCrunch has reached out to Apple for comment.
Earlier this year, a tsunami of tokenmaxxing took hold, with companies pushing staff to use AI as much as possible in the name of vaguely defined efficiency gains. The frenzy was short-lived, however, as bills for said tokens came due, and companies decided that token rationing might be a more fiscally sensible approach.
Concerns persist about an apparent gap between what AI costs to build and run and the (often unclear) productivity gains the technology is suppose to generate.
