Meta launches new AI unit with fewer management layers… hires 7,000 talents in a sweeping move

Meta is restructuring around AI, shifting 7,000 employees into four new AI-focused teams.

The company is also cutting management layers and reducing about 10% of staff to streamline operations.

The move concentrates resources on AI tools, applications, and long-term superintelligence efforts.

It signals how Big Tech’s AI pivot is increasingly tied to layoffs and a leaner org structure.
