    I mean, I can imagine it’s a very real expense.

    Not sure what is the difference between Meta and Microsoft in term of employee size, but if Meta is burning 300 000 000$ monthly on tokens (whichis a number reported by their internal tracking tool that leaked assuming 5$ per 1M tokens), then it’s not cheap :D

    In a 30-day period, total employee usage on the dashboard exceeded 60 trillion tokens, and the highest-ranked individual user averaged 281 billion tokens. Using the least expensive version of Claude Opus 4.6, which costs $5 for every million tokens, that one user alone could have cost Meta more than $1.4 million.

      Can you imagine working at Meta and just building a token burning perpetual motion machine to pump your token usage so it looks like you’re the AI god, and costing them $1M/mo?

      Malicious compliance at it’s finest. Fuck Meta.
