Odaily Planet Daily News Tesla will begin limiting employee spending on artificial intelligence tools from the 6th of this month. Similar measures have also been adopted by several other U.S. tech companies. According to reports, Tesla has sent an internal memo to employees announcing that starting July 6th, each employee's weekly spending limit on AI tools will be capped at $200, with any excess requiring supervisor approval. However, Tesla employees' use of Musk's xAI's Grok model will not count toward the $200 limit. It is reported that Grok has relatively low acceptance among Tesla employees, with most still choosing to use Anthropic's Claude model. (CCTV Finance)
