Meta Layoffs

About

Meta, the social media and technology giant, is laying off approximately 600 employees within its artificial intelligence division, as confirmed on Wednesday. This reduction affects teams across AI infrastructure, the Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) unit, and product-related roles, but spares newer, top-tier hires in the TBD Labs group. The layoffs are part of Meta's ongoing effort to streamline its AI operations, reduce organizational layers, and consolidate strategic direction under Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, following significant investments in AI talent and infrastructure. The cuts leave the Superintelligence Labs workforce at just under 3,000 employees. Meta is offering severance packages and has set a termination date of November 21 for affected staff, as the company aggressively restructures to compete with rivals like OpenAI and Google in the fast-evolving AI industry.
