Reporting tied the reductions to a strategic shift in how the royalty-free music platform builds and delivers its catalog and tools. The move reflected a broader 2026 wave of AI-driven restructuring across the tech and media sectors. Public detail on the specific teams affected or severance terms stayed limited, and some figures circulating in layoff trackers remained unverified against official company statements.
