Microsoft, Uber rethink AI coding tools as costs spike
from Crestvale Newsroom Hosted by Crestvale Newsroom
Send us Fan Mail Today's episode focuses on the growing tension inside firms as AI coding tools scale faster than budgets can support. Microsoft and Uber are both pulling back after runaway usage pushed costs far beyond expectations. Their shift is an early signal for professional service firms evaluating how to control consumption before it becomes an uncontrolled expense. This matters because AI tools often feel inexpensive during pilot phases, but usage grows exponentially once teams adopt them. Without strong limits, firms risk turning automation into a major operational cost. Leaders also need to address shadow AI, identity‑driven threats, and vendor tools that do not match the real daily workflow. We also cover new moves from BT Business, Cato Networks, and the latest CI pipeline breach involving Megalodon. Learn more at https://crestvale.io Support the show
