Meta and Microsoft scale back internal use of Anthropic’s Claude, report says

What happened: Meta and Microsoft are cutting internal use of Anthropic's Claude AI tools and pushing employees toward their own in-house AI offerings, per The Information. Key numbers: Microsoft's projected internal Anthropic spend of at least $1 billion was cut by more than a third. Meta's Claude Code usage fell to about 30,000 employees from roughly 60,000. Why it matters: The shift is framed as cost control and an internal push toward proprietary AI. Customer spending on Anthropic models through Microsoft's enterprise platforms reportedly keeps growing.
