Anthropic Engineer Urges ROI Focus, Preserve AI Experimentation
At a Scale AI fireside chat, Anthropic engineer Boris Cherny said "ROI is absolutely the right framing" for corporate AI spending, Business Insider reports. Cherny warned against cutting off experimentation and recommended "give people tokens and give them safety to experiment," adding that companies should "control the costs...on the backend," Business Insider reports. The session, moderated by Jesse Chen, Meta's director of product management, touched on recent concerns voiced by Uber COO Andrew Macdonald about whether rising token costs are delivering commensurate value, Business Insider adds. Cherny also emphasized that Anthropic offers enterprise controls, including per-seat cost limits, to help customers manage token budgets, Business Insider reports.
