Ramp reported that AI tool spending by businesses slowed in August, with fewer customers adding spend than the prior month. In the top 1% of firms, AI spend per employee fell nearly 10% to $7,205.

The company also plans upstream PyTorch changes to make the framework more hardware-agnostic, aiming to loosen the gravity that keeps developers clustered around specific accelerator ecosystems—an underappreciated lever in enterprise spending, where platform lock-in often lasts longer than model lifecycles.
