Apple Caps Internal AI Spending as Operating Costs Mount
Apple has reduced daily employee spending allowances for third-party artificial intelligence models from 300 dollars to 200 dollars per engineer, with plans for steeper cutbacks across engineering and business units. The tightening arrives as research and development expenses climbed 32 percent in fiscal 2026, driven largely by infrastructure outlays. Under Chief Executive Officer John Ternus, the move signals a transition across Silicon Valley away from unrestrained AI experimentation toward strict corporate cost governance.
