"MENLO PARK, Calif. -- Meta Platforms is cutting roughly 600 artificial intelligence jobs even as it continues to hire more workers for its superintelligence lab, the company confirmed on Wednesday. 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. Its newer TBD Lab unit won't be affected."
"Citing a memo sent to workers by chief AI officer Alexandr Wang, Axios said the company is encouraging employees affected to apply for other jobs at Meta, with most expected to find other roles. The Menlo Park, California-based company is also still recruiting and hiring for TBD Lab, which is developing Meta's latest large language models. Large language models are the technology behind OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini - and Meta's Llama."
Meta Platforms is cutting roughly 600 artificial intelligence roles across its Fundamental AI Research (FAIR), product-related AI and AI infrastructure units while continuing to recruit for its TBD Lab. Leadership encouraged affected employees to apply for other roles inside the company, with most expected to transition internally. TBD Lab remains focused on developing the company’s newest large language models. Meta has released the Llama system as open-source and reports over a billion monthly AI users, but faces perceptions of trailing competitors such as OpenAI and Google in driving consumer adoption of LLMs.
