"Meta is once again undergoing a major reorganization within its artificial intelligence department. Approximately 600 jobs will be lost in the company's AI division. The cuts will affect the FAIR (Fundamental AI Research) research group, the product-focused AI teams, and the infrastructure department, among others. At the same time, Meta will continue hiring staff for its new research department, the TBD Lab, which focuses on developing super-intelligent AI systems."
"A Meta spokesperson, Ana Brekalo, confirmed to The Verge that Axios's reporting is accurate. The restructuring is part of a broader strategic shift at Meta, which found its existing AI operations to be too slow and bureaucratic. According to an internal memo from AI head Alexandr Wang, the reorganization should lead to faster decision-making and greater agility. By forming smaller teams, he believes employees will have more freedom and impact within the organization."
Meta will cut about 600 AI jobs, affecting FAIR, product-focused AI teams, and the infrastructure department. Meta will continue hiring for the TBD Lab to develop super-intelligent AI systems. The reorganization is framed as a strategic shift to address slow, bureaucratic AI operations and to speed decision-making. An internal memo from AI head Alexandr Wang said smaller teams should increase agility and give employees more freedom and impact. The move follows heavy investments including $14.3 billion into Scale AI, a temporary recruitment pause, and concerns from investors about high compensation offers.
