Editorial note
On October 22, 2025, Meta cut roughly 600 roles across its Superintelligence Labs AI division — including the FAIR research unit and AI infrastructure and product teams — while sparing its new TBD Lab. Rated Mixed: chief AI officer Alexandr Wang framed the cuts as streamlining to "reduce layers and operate more nimbly," but they also reflect a deliberate reshaping of Meta's AI organization around its foundation-model push.
