Uber Embeds AI Tools Across Software Development to Cut Model Costs
AI tools are embedded across Uber’s software development pipeline. From February to July, Uber reports cost per 1,000 model requests fell nearly 34% from its peak, and cost per session dropped 52% from June. Uber describes a “software factory” model using layered agent sessions, cost decomposition metrics, and weekly/monthly tracking to optimize cost, quality, and model selection.
