为什么值得看
多家公司因AI使用成本飙升开始限制员工调用大模型API，从"全员可用"退回审批制。这对盲目跟风上AI的团队是警示：ROI核算比技术demo更重要。
编辑判断
FT这篇报道的采访对象集中在金融和咨询行业，这些公司的共同特点是早期把AI接入核心业务流而非边缘场景——比如让分析师直接用GPT-4处理财报、让客服机器人自动回复复杂投诉。这种深度集成导致token消耗呈指数级增长，而产出质量并未同步提升。
对AI工程师的直接影响是：2024年那种"先接入再算账"的项目立项方式正在失效。接下来半年，能清晰量化单次推理成本与业务收益的团队会更受预算青睐。建议现在就开始做两件事：给现有AI管线加装用量监控和熔断机制，以及准备一套"降级方案"——在GPT-4和Claude 3之间根据成本动态切换，这会成为技术评审的标配问题。

核心争论：AI支出是合理投资还是CEO恐慌驱动的浪费
Companies are learning that even with mass layoffs, AI isn't worth what it costs for most use cases. This is an important inflection point because none of the AI companies are profitable, i.e. they're all still charging substantially less than what it costs to actually deliver the service. With thi
If AI isn't worth what it costs why are some of these companies allowing $1,000+/employee/month?
Partially because they think that once employees put enough context and rules into markdown files they can be fired and replaced by an online subscription.
