Amazon cut about 250 jobs from its devices team just weeks after launching a bunch of new devices.

In the last 30 days Amazon has launched new tablets, a new Kindle, a picture frame, and multiple new Echo devices. Now the company is cutting around 250 positions from its devices and services team, though Reuters says they’re primarily focused on software development. Amazon did not confirm a reason for the layoffs, but developers are facing increased pressure from increasingly advanced AI coding tools.
