A new survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and reported on by Apolloseems to show that large companies may be tapping the brakes on AI. Large companies (defined as having more than 250 employees) have reduced their AI usage, according to the data (click to expand the Tweet below). The slowdown started in June, when it was at roughly 13.5%, slipping to about 12% at the end of August. Most other lines, representing companies with fewer employees, are also at a decline, with some still increasing.

This contradicts what I'm reading in that AI model costs grow with each generation, not shrink.

That was published a year ago, highly selective, doesn't include something like Llama 4 Maverick.

Also that is the cost to train them, not the cost to use them, which is different.
