Monday.com joins the list of tech companies citing AI as a reason for layoffs — 20 more examples

Monday.com announced layoffs of about 20% of its workforce, or over 600 employees, citing a restructuring tied to its AI-driven growth strategy. This adds to a growing trend where major tech companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Meta, and Amazon have cited AI as a factor in job cuts, with nearly 140,000 U.S. tech jobs cut this year. However, AI-focused companies like Anthropic and OpenAI are hiring rapidly, and some firms are shifting headcount into AI roles.

Writing a Decoder-Only Transformer for LLM from Scratch in Python

The author of a series of articles describes in detail the implementation of a transformer block for a small decoder-only LLM using the PyTorch framework. Components covered include: masked Multi-Head Attention, Feed Forward Network with GELU, normalization layer, and residual connections. The article explains the difference from the original architecture: pre-normalization (Pre-LN) is used instead of post-normalization for training stability.
