Disney is pushing tech employees to move faster with AI — but avoid 'tokenmaxxing'
Disney is encouraging tech employees to use AI tools like Claude and Cursor to boost productivity and speed, but warns against excessive 'tokenmaxxing'—wasteful AI token usage. The company tracks token efficiency via an AI Adoption Dashboard and emphasizes code quality over mere speed, while rivals like Microsoft and Paramount Skydance also limit AI token spending.
