You read right, $2.5 billion in AI usage for a single year. This averages out to about $35,000-$55,000 per developer (depending on how you count their employees), or about $3000-$5000 per dev per month.

This is a staggering expense for a company; and if this is part of the core strategy, an extremely dangerous one. This spending may even be justified today – until the AI companies double or triple or more what they are charging. Which they often do without warning. Overnight you could find this number become twice as much.
