Meta trims 600 roles in AI unit amid restructuring drive
Meta laid off 600 AI staff to streamline operations after heavy investment, keeping elite teams intact while continuing its $27 billion Hyperion data center buildout.
Meta Platforms is laying off around 600 employees across its AI division, affecting FAIR, infrastructure, and product teams. The move comes after $14.3 billion of AI-related capital spending this year. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the reorganization aims to improve agility by cutting management layers. Severance packages include 16 weeks’ pay plus two additional weeks per year of service. High-priority groups like TBD Labs remain intact. Following the cuts, Meta’s AI workforce totals roughly 3,000, while the company continues allocating $27 billion toward its Hyperion data center expansion.
