Meta’s AI Shake-up: 600 Jobs Axed as Zuckerberg Doubles Down on “Superintelligence”
Meta will cut about 600 jobs from its Superintelligence Labs, affecting legacy AI teams but sparing the elite TBD Labs group. Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang told staff the move aims to reduce bureaucracy and boost impact. Meta says AI investment will continue, with recent deals including a $27 billion data center and a $14.3 billion Scale AI stake. Shares trade near $733, up 25% this year, as analysts remain bullish ahead of Q3 earnings.
