Meta to cut around 600 roles in Superintelligence Labs AI unit
Meta is cutting around 600 positions in its Superintelligence Labs, affecting FAIR and product-related AI teams, while leaving the newly formed TBD Lab untouched.
Meta will cut 600 positions across its AI division to streamline Superintelligence Labs, leaving the newly formed TBD Lab unaffected. Meta is cutting around 600 positions out of the several thousand roles in its Superintelligence Labs, the Facebook owner, Zuckerberg said on Wednesday as it looks to make its artificial intelligence unit more flexible and responsive.
The job cuts will affect Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) unit, as well as teams focused on product-related AI and AI infrastructure, the company said.
The newly formed TBD Lab, which comprises “a few dozen” researchers and engineers developing Meta’s next-generation foundation models, will not be affected.
Axios first reported the job cuts announcement, citing a company memo.
Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang said fewer team members would streamline decision-making and increase the responsibility, scope and impact of each role.
