Meta to Lay Off Around 600 Employees from Artificial Intelligence Divisions
Meta plans to lay off approximately 600 employees working in its artificial intelligence (AI) divisions, according to an internal memo cited by Axios.
The document states that the layoffs aim to reduce excessive bureaucracy and improve the flexibility of workflows. A company representative confirmed the job cuts in a comment to CNBC.
The layoffs will affect staff involved in AI infrastructure, fundamental research, and product development. However, Meta expects that most of the affected employees will be offered other roles within the company.
At the same time, Meta continues hiring for its recently established TBD Lab, which focuses on developing “superintelligence” technologies, according to The Verge.
As reported by Bloomberg, Meta has made substantial investments in AI development. In the summer of 2025, the company invested $14.3 billion in the AI startup Scale AI, whose co-founder and CEO, Alexandr Wang, has since taken on the role of Chief AI Officer at Meta.
