- Uber limits monthly token spending to $1,500 per AI coding tool for each employee to manage costs.
- The policy applies specifically to agentic coding software like Cursor or Claude Code, with separate budgets for each tool.
- This cap is estimated at ~11% of the median yearly compensation for Uber software engineers in the USA, equating to about $36,000 annually per engineer if using two tools.
