According to a post on X by @LaniRefiti, Meta cancelled a planned November wave of Project OT, which would have cut some teams by up to 60% and handed routine work to AI agents. The post says an earlier May wave cut about 10% of staff. It cites internal metrics showing code changes up 220%, shipped features up 36% and major incidents up 40%. The source is a single report that the post itself describes as unconfirmed.

If the report is accurate, it suggests AI agents may not shrink large tech teams as quickly as some claims imply, because the gap between code changes and shipped features points to added overhead. Engineering leaders, workers at large tech firms and investors tracking AI efficiency claims would be most affected. Watch for official confirmation from Meta or further reporting on the status of Project OT.
Developers may have a new tool, API, or workflow change worth testing against their own stack.
