Meta Platforms has announced the availability of 600 employees from its artificial intelligence division to simplify its organizational structure and increase agility.

This measure affects the teams in AI infrastructure and the fundamental research department (FAIR), being part of the company's efforts to reorganize its priorities in the field of artificial intelligence to compete more effectively with rivals like OpenAI and Google. CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed his dissatisfaction with the pace of progress in AI, especially after the launch of the Llama 4 models, which did not achieve the expected success.

Despite these restructurings, Meta's expenses continue to rise, with the company estimating a total budget of $114–118 billion for 2025, with massive investments in AI planned for 2026. Additionally, Meta announced a $27 billion agreement to fund the Hyperion data center in Louisiana, a major digital infrastructure project.
