Meta, Microsoft look to trim workforces amid heavy AI spending
Meta and Microsoft are eliminating over 16,000 jobs combined—through direct layoffs and unfilled roles—to redirect capital toward AI infrastructure, signaling Big Tech's strategic pivot from headcount growth to compute spending.
Tens of billions in days: CoreWeave shows how aggressively AI infrastructure is being funded
CoreWeave's $35B+ haul from Meta plus $12B in fresh capital raises reveal GPU infrastructure as the new strategic chokepoint—whoever controls compute capacity controls AI deployment.
