CIOs have told George Kurtz that AI costs became uncontrollable and that they stopped maximizing token usage after receiving large bills.

“I talk to CIOs, you know, almost every day. I had dinner with one tonight, uh, from big bank in New York and, and basically the comment is, you know, we, we, we got into AI, we went all in, great.”

“The costs were out of control. You know, token maxing, you know, stopped when people got big bills. And, you know, I said, "Well, what, how do you think about this?”
