Cloudflare lays off 1,100 employees (~20% of workforce)

I am perplexed at how it can cost so much. I have been using AI every day, all day for a few months now and I have not even gotten to spending $300 a month. I use Cursor for teams, so we get ~$80 of usage for our ~$40 per member, then we pay Cursor's upcharged API rates from there, and I STILL don't spend more than $300 a month, if that. What the hell is everyone doing with their fucking tokens?

You set cursor to use Opus 4.7 and ask it to review your branch commits and then it looks at stuff for a bit and that's $10.

By judging employees by how many tokens they burn.

Most of our employees don't hit their $50/month cap. Others end up into the hundreds. It depends on how you use it.
