   22% of staff cut as CEO announced an AI-first '100x org' model with ~3,000 internal AI agents doing work that employees now direct and review; savings partly redirected into 'million-dollar salary bands' for remaining staff.

   CEO Zeb Evans: 'The people that automate their jobs with AI will always have a job'; he said remaining staff would direct AI agents and 'If you create outsized impact using AI, you'll be paid outside of traditional bands.'
