SAP Replaces Expensive AI Models with Cheaper Alternatives, Targets €2 Billion in Efficiency Gains German software developer SAP has begun replacing OpenAI, Anthropic and Google artificial intelligence models with cheaper alternatives. The company anticipates that the resulting efficiency gains will result in benefits of more than 2 billion euros over the next two years. CFO Dominic Assam said replacement models will only be introduced when they continue to meet the requirements. According to him, the model that motivates an internal consulting assistant has already been replaced. SAP is not expected to reduce its overall spending on artificial intelligence. Instead, expenses may increase as adoption expands. However, cheaper models will help keep margins healthy as the workload increases.
