About 10% of global workforce, plus ~6,000 open roles cancelled and ~7,000 employees redeployed into AI-focused teams, while AI capex was raised to $125-145B. On June 12, 2026 Zuckerberg told staff Meta had 'made mistakes' in the restructuring and ruled out further company-wide layoffs in 2026 - a softening of the restructuring plan, though the AI rationale itself was not retracted.
Meta framed the cuts as reorganizing the company around AI, shifting thousands of employees 'into artificial intelligence workflow-related roles' to fund AI development including the Meta Superintelligence initiative.
