The latest job cuts appear to be part of a broader reorganization of Dell’s sales teams, including the creation of a new group focused on AI products and services – an area where Dell plans significant growth. For instance, in June, Dell, alongside Supermicro, was selected to provide hardware infrastructure for Elon Musk’s xAI startup’s AI supercomputer.
The oldest tweets I could find that actually started reporting this are from ~16 days ago.
