Meta is considering layoffs that may impact 20% or more of its workforce as it seeks to manage the rising costs associated with its $600 billion AI infrastructure investments by 2028. The exact number of cuts and timeline remain undecided.

If implemented, these layoffs would surpass previous reductions made in late 2022 and early 2023, totaling 21,000 positions. The company has been actively recruiting AI talent and made significant acquisitions including Moltbook and a $2 billion investment in Chinese startup Manus. This trend parallels broader shifts in the tech sector towards AI-assisted efficiency.
