Summary
Welcome to Omni Talk's Retail Daily Minute, sponsored by Duvo and Mirakl .

Walmart has capped employee usage of its in-house AI tool Code Puppy after high demand depleted its token budget, highlighting the real and often underestimated cost of enterprise AI adoption at scale. Victoria's Secret delivers a stunning Q1 earnings beat and raises full-year guidance significantly, with CEO Hillary Super crediting fewer promotions, bra-led loyalty, and a newly compounding leadership team.
