Meta's chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, wrote in a memo to staff on Wednesday that the company will cut about 600 jobs from its superintelligence lab, according to a report from Axios. Meta declined to comment, but told TechCrunch that Axios's reporting is accurate. As Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other companies race to build the most powerful AI systems, Meta had a busy summer on the hiring front.
Bosworth indicated that while the market for AI talent is competitive, it’s not as cutthroat as suggested, clarifying that major offers are reserved for key senior leaders.
