Meta Platforms has said it is cutting roughly 600 AI jobs even as it continues to hire more workers for its superintelligence lab. According to Reuters , the layoffs are part of the tech giant’s broader effort to streamline operations and reduce organisational layers.
Axios first reported the cuts, which will affect Meta’s Fundamental AI Research, or FAIR unit, as well as product-related AI and AI infrastructure units.
According to Reuters , employees working in TBD Labs, the unit responsible for Meta’s advanced large language model (LLM) development and home to several high-profile AI recruits, will remain unaffected. The lab, which operates under the direct supervision of Meta’s chief AI officer Alexandr Wang, has become central to Meta’s AI ambitions.
