US Army tells troops to cut back, running low on AI tokens

The US Army emailed personnel warning they were rapidly depleting their allotted AI token budget and needed to limit usage. The report doesn't specify which AI tools or vendor are involved.

Why it matters: It's a concrete sign that government AI rollouts are hitting real budget and usage limits faster than agencies planned for, coming right after the Navy's AI-first strategy push. Token rationing inside a military branch suggests procurement and cost forecasting for government AI deployments are still lagging actual demand.
