CNBC: Meta starts major cuts with 8,000 layoffs as AI shakes the tech giant.
Along with the layoffs, around 7,000 employees will be shifted into new AI-focused roles.
Meta is not only trimming costs, it is changing its internal shape around AI infrastructure, foundation models, and AI monetization, which means the company wants more people building the systems that train models, the models themselves, and the products that turn those models into revenue.
