Microsoft is reportedly asking employees to use AI more efficiently instead of consuming the maximum possible computing resources. As per a 404 Media report, the company has internally urged staff to avoid tokenmaxxing even as it adopts OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol as the default AI model for employees. With this, the company wants to keep AI spending under control while continuing to expand the use of gen AI across their businesses. The report also claims that Microsoft has introduced updated internal Copilot guidelines that include AI token budget targets for business divisions. Internal data cited in the memo suggests some engineers consume AI tokens worth hundreds to thousands of dollars every month.
