xAI laid off 500 team members on Friday night, citing an immediate "strategic pivot" to prioritize specialist AI tutors over generalist roles. The company said it will "accelerate the expansion and prioritization of our specialist AI tutors, while scaling back our focus on general AI tutor roles." The cuts affect roughly one-third of a 1,500-person data annotation team that labels and prepares training data for the Grok chatbot. xAI announced plans to surge its Specialist AI tutor team by 10x and to hire across domains such as STEM, finance, medicine, and safety. Many generalist AI tutor positions were eliminated.
