   About 15% of workforce cut, to be completed by end of Q3 2026. SEC filing framed the restructuring as reallocating resources toward AI; stock fell on the news.

   Pinterest said in its SEC filing it would reallocate resources to 'AI-focused roles and teams that drive AI adoption and execution' and prioritize 'AI-powered products and capabilities'; CBO Lee Brown said cuts would 'accelerate its evolution as an AI-powered performance advertising platform'.
