The United States Army has depleted its entire annual budget for artificial intelligence processing tokens within mere weeks of granting broad access to personnel. The rapid consumption occurred after a single service used up the full yearly allocation, prompting military leaders to reinstate strict usage limits across various departments.

Following the unexpected exhaustion of the processing tokens, the Pentagon and military leadership moved quickly to curb usage and prevent further unauthorized or excessive depletion of allocated AI resources.
