I can second this. Our company and department was all-in on AI. And since the token-based pricing came in, we got an email from IT that tried to explain that most developers don't know how to choose models and that the cheap models should be good enough for most of our work ..

Ha, developers know perfectly well how to choose models - they know that the company is footing the bill and Opus will give them the best result and/or require the least clean-up work.

(We've received similar guidance. Even better is that our provider, GitHub Copilot, does not provide usage information to individual users if there is no per-user budget configured. So we just fire our requests into the black box and at the end of the month when IT gets the bill we maybe get a talking-to if it's excessive.)

Have they built an internal ai enablement team?

Yes :D
