Movement Alert｜Amazon Falls 3.1% in Regular Trading, Internal AI Token-Farming Scandal Sparks Concerns Over Computing Spend Efficiency

Market Focus00:19

On June 2, Amazon fell 3.1% in regular trading, trading at $261.92/share, with trading volume of $6.267 billion. The decline was triggered by revelations that the company shut down its internal AI usage leaderboard amid employee manipulation of computing resources.

According to reports, Amazon recently closed an internal AI usage ranking system called Kirorank after discovering that some employees had been directing AI agents to execute meaningless tasks solely to inflate their token consumption metrics and boost their rankings. This gaming behavior led to a significant surge in the company's computing costs without generating corresponding business or financial returns.

The incident has intensified market scrutiny of Amazon's AI capital expenditure efficiency. The company has projected full-year capital expenditure of approximately $200 billion, with the vast majority allocated to AI infrastructure and data centers. However, the token-farming episode has raised questions about whether internal AI adoption is translating into productive output, casting doubt on the return on investment of Amazon's massive AI spending and weighing on investor sentiment.
