Unlimited‑token AI Experiments at Big Tech

Companies are piloting 'unlimited token' grants of corporate AI compute to single engineers or small teams to rapidly refactor and modernize large legacy codebases. These pilots are framed as acceleration experiments but create concentrated control over institutional knowledge, accelerate technical debt turnover, and reshuffle entry‑level job demand. — If this pattern spreads, it will reshape corporate hiring, bargaining power, and vendor lock‑in, with implications for workforce policy, retraining, and competition oversight.
