@thisismoney: Microsoft has reportedly banned Claude Code for around 100,000 engineers after the AI tool became more expensive than the staff it was meant to support 🤖 The company initially rolled out Anthropic’s coding assistant in late 2025, with adoption quickly spreading across engineering teams. However, usage costs reportedly surged due to token based pricing, where every line of code generates charges, leading to unexpectedly high bills at scale. Microsoft has now ordered the cancellation of all Claude Code licences by the end of June, despite having invested billions in Anthropic, highlighting the rising cost pressures behind large scale AI adoption in the workplace. #ThisIsMoney #Money #News #UK
