Odaily Planet Daily News: Starting from the 6th of this month, Tesla will limit employee spending on AI tools. Similar measures are also being adopted by several other US tech companies. According to reports, Tesla has sent an internal memo to employees announcing that starting July 6, each employee will be capped at $200 per week on AI tools, with any excess requiring manager approval. However, Tesla employees' usage of Musk's xAI's Grok model will not count toward the $200 limit. It is reported that Grok has a relatively low acceptance rate among Tesla employees, with most employees still choosing to use Anthropic's Claude. (CCTV Finance)
