Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff says the company expects to spend about $300 million on Anthropic tokens this year. Speaking on the All-In podcast, he frames the investment as tied to using AI—particularly for coding—through Anthropic’s technology. Benioff also says he can work faster with AI agents and describes them as “awesome.” In addition to the token spending projection, he discusses efforts to make coding easier inside Slack, Salesforce’s workplace messaging platform. He points to developing technology that supports coding workflows within Slack, and he links the anticipated token usage to business outcomes at Salesforce, saying it would make it cheaper to build. Across the reports, both outlets attribute the $300 million figure to Benioff’s comments on the podcast and connect the spending primarily to AI coding use cases rather than other categories of AI. The reporting does not provide further details on timing beyond “this year,” the exact token allocation, or any finalized contract terms.
