Tinder’s parent company has doubled its AI budget, and its CFO has started auditing Token bills on an individual basis.

47 minutes ago

Beating AI Express (from Dongcha) – Bloomberg’s interviews with multiple corporate CFOs show that U.S. companies are tightening control over AI spending. Some firms have set token limits for employees, track individual expenditures in real time, and prioritize low-cost models for simple tasks. Match Group, parent company of Tinder, allocated a $5 million AI budget at the start of this year, which doubled to $10 million in May. The company logs each employee’s spending in real time; to exceed the limit, staff must first demonstrate the use case is valuable. Cybersecurity firm Sysdig’s CFO checks token consumption daily. Bloomberg data indicates S&P 500 companies mentioned “token” 157 times in their latest quarterly earnings calls, nearly four times the count from a year prior. EY’s survey found 82% of surveyed executives at AI-investing companies worry about related costs, but only 64% said their firms already monitor usage and set clear budgets. EY also estimates that the total cost of deploying AI agents – including subscriptions, infrastructure, and management fees – is roughly three times the token bill. Still, cost pressures have not prompted companies to collectively cut AI investments. In EY’s survey, 37% of relevant executives said their firms are considering expanding AI deployments, while only 15% plan to scale back. Companies are stepping up cost controls while continuing to increase AI investment, and are starting to more rigorously evaluate which use cases are worth the expenditure.

Anatomy Open-Source: Turns Technical Principles Into Working Machines With Just One Sentence

Beating AI News: Developer Ryan has open-sourced an AI drawing tool called Anatomy, which currently supports Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex. Users only need to describe the technical concept they want to explain in one sentence, and the AI will automatically design a machine that demonstrates the concept’s principle through moving parts. The generated works can also be operated via mouse or keyboard. For example, when explaining LRU cache (which prioritizes removing the least recently used data), the AI creates a bookshelf that can move books; when explaining how a mechanical watch works, it generates a mechanical device that can wind up, adjust speed, and disassemble gears. More complex works include SpaceX Starship’s Raptor rocket engine, which can be split into 11 components and simulate ignition. Currently, 33 major works are showcased on Anatomy’s official website. Anatomy first studies relevant principles and parameters, then designs parts, creates graphics, and adds animations. The movements and numerical readings in the scene are controlled by the same computational model, changing synchronously during operation. It also has built-in automated inspection tools to detect issues such as part interpenetration and occlusion errors. The final output is editable web code that can be opened independently or embedded into websites. The developer has also packaged existing works into a component library for direct use by developers. The project is open-sourced under the MIT License. However, creating detailed works takes significant time: the mechanical watch took nearly 2 hours to develop, while the Raptor rocket engine took over 10 hours. Its 3D functionality remains in the testing phase.
