Zuckerberg admits Meta's AI transformation 'derailed' after 10% layoffs and 7,000 reassignments

扎克伯格承认 Meta AI 转型"脱轨"：裁员 10%、转岗 7000 人后组织调整过快

Zuckerberg said in an internal memo that Meta's AI restructuring moved too fast and caused organizational strain. In May, the company cut 10% of its global workforce and reassigned roughly 7,000 people to AI-related projects, some into model training. He admitted the company will 'almost certainly make more mistakes' but ruled out another company-wide layoff this year. A new Applied AI Engineering org runs a flat structure with a 50:1 IC-to-manager ratio, which Meta now plans to dial back. A large hackathon is set for July to boost cross-team collaboration and model development.

Why it matters: Zuck's internal memo admits the AI pivot pace broke the org—10% layoffs, 7,000 reassigned, 50 direct reports per manager. HKR all hit, but this is personnel/org news, not a product launch, so it caps at the lower featured band.
