Meta delays release of its 'Behemoth' AI model
Company engineers are struggling to significantly improve the capabilities of its Behemoth large-language model, resulting in staff questions about whether improvements over earlier versions are significant enough to justify public release, the report said.
Early in its development, Behemoth was internally scheduled for release in April to coincide with Meta's inaugural AI conference for developers, but later pushed an internal target for the model's launch to June, according to the report.
It has now been delayed to fall or later, the report said.
Meta had said in April it was previewing Llama 4 Behemoth, which it called "one of the smartest LLMs in the world and our most powerful yet to serve as a teacher for our new models".
It released the latest version of its LLM Llama, called the Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick, that month.

Minister says Irish jobs will be lost to AI but she can't say how many (yet)
IRISH JOBS WILL be lost as a result of artificial intelligence (AI), Ireland's first ever minister for AI has said. Niamh Smyth, a junior minister at the Department of Enterprise, said it would be foolish not to admit that jobs will be displaced. However, she added that, in her opinion, Ireland cannot afford not to 'embrace AI'. The government is currently establishing a regulator to enforce the EU's new AI rules rules , while also trying to ensure Irish businesses reap the technology's benefits, and public services use it to become more efficient. Smyth said the government will also establish an 'AI Observatory' which will provide data on where jobs will be lost, how many are at risk, and how this can be mitigated. The minister was grilled on the extent to which the government will regulate companies' use of AI at the new Oireachtas committee on AI this morning. Sinéad Gibney of the Social Democrats said she was concerned that the government did not seem to be striking the right balance between supporting business to embrace AI and addressing the risks the technology poses, including job losses, greenhouse gas emissions and misinformation. Outlining her priorities to the committee, Smyth had said she particularly wanted to drive AI adoption and AI literacy among small and medium businesses. Advertisement Smyth's department is establishing a new independent AI office to provide legal guidance to businesses on how to comply with the EU's AI Act , with Smyth telling the committee this would provide much-needed certainty to businesses, and would be well-resourced when it's up and running in just over a year's time. Gibney noted that the government's own AI strategy, updated last October, states that the EU AI Act will place 'few, or no, obligations on most businesses who use AI'. She said the minister's own stated commitments were overwhelmingly focused on supporting businesses, rather than on managing the risks. Smyth said the EU Act took a 'risk-based approach' to protecting citizens. She said it was too early to say whether any domestic legislation to regulate the use of AI would be introduced. Meta AI Paul Murphy of People Before Profit questioned Smyth on recent reporting by The Journal on the conditions faced by content moderators training Meta AI at Covalen, an Irish outsourcing firm. Workers were asked to think like paedophiles and to spend entire work days creating suicide and self-harm related 'prompts' to regulate the responses given by Meta's AI products. Smyth said she was not familiar with the article but said the EU AI Act is intended to protect citizens, taking a 'risk-based approach'. 'The example you're giving there is a very cruel way of using workers, and it certainly wouldn't be acceptable here in Ireland,' Smyth said.

'I'll have to come back to you on it,' Smyth responded. 'That is certainly not acceptable in terms of that treatment of workers.' Data centres Murphy also raised concerns that the minister's opening statement to the committee made no mention of the climate impact of AI, given its requirement for energy-hungry data centres. Smyth said she hoped Ireland could both embrace AI in an ethical way and meet its climate targets. She said that 'the energy question…has to be answered by the energy department'. 'There is no getting away from the fact that [data centre development] has put Ireland front and centre in being attractive to a lot of the companies who have come here,' Smyth said. Smyth said that, given her own background in the arts, as a graduate of the National College of Art and Design, her biggest concern about AI was its potential impact on the creative industries. 'We don't want their work stolen, used or scraped. We have a balancing act to achieve here that we do allow the right environment and ecosystem for the development of innovation and ensuring that we protect our citizens and the creative industries alongside that,' she said. She indicated Ireland's EU presidency next year provides an opportunity to showcase Ireland as a technology leader by hosting an AI summit or conference similar to an event hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron earlier this year.

Meta backs EU digital majority age
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, has said it supports proposals for a common digital majority age across EU member states. France, Spain and Greece recently proposed the idea of a "digital majority" or the age below which it would be forbidden for children to connect to social media platforms. Under the plans, there would be an EU-wide age of digital adulthood, below which minors would need parental consent to log onto social media. The countries are also proposing the integration of age verification and parental control systems for devices connected to the internet. Meta said it would support proposals whereby parents need to approve their younger teens' access to digital services. "We believe this can be an effective solution to the industry-wide challenge of ensuring teens have safe, age-appropriate experiences online," Meta said in a newsroom post. The company added that any new provisions should apply broadly across the digital services teens use - not just to social media platforms, but also gaming, streaming, messaging, and browsing. Meta has also reiterated its call for age verification mechanisms at the app store or operating system level. "I think it makes much more sense that this is done at the ecosystem, app store, operating system level," said Global Director of Public Policy at Instagram Tara Hopkins. "A signal can then be shared across multiple apps, and the decision gets made at that app store level as to whether or not you can download the app," Ms Hopkins said. Meta said its support for an EU-wide digital majority age is not an endorsement of government mandated social media bans, which the company claimed, "take away parental authority and focus narrowly on one type of online service". In May, Tánaiste Simon Harris said serious consideration should be given to banning under-16s from using social media, similar to a law passed last year in Australia. Video sharing platforms based in Ireland will face new regulatory obligations to verify users' ages before showing adult content from 21 July under Coimisiún na Meán's online safety code. The Commission said it will not mandate any specific technology, but that the age verification systems must be robust and privacy-respecting and must not hold data for longer than is necessary.

Public finances boosted by another spike in corporate tax receipts
The Government's financial position has been boosted by what Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe described as 'a sharp increase' in corporate tax in June. Exchequer returns for the first six months of the year show the business tax generated €7.4 billion last month, which was €1.5 billion or 25 per cent up on the same month last year. June is the second most important month of the year for corporate tax - behind November - as it reflects payments from companies with financial years ending in December, which include Google, Meta, Microsoft and Intel, all of which have big operations here. After a fall-off in receipts in May, there had been concern that US trade policy uncertainty might be affecting the profitability of these firms. READ MORE But the latest figures, published by the Department of Finance, appeared to dispel those concerns with corporate tax receipts - on a cumulative six-month basis - up 7.4 per cent on last year at €13.1 billion and ahead of the department's own forecasts. Nonetheless Mr Donohoe warned the month-to-month changes highlighted the volatility of corporate tax. 'Corporation tax receipts in June have seen a sharp increase, which follows a sharp decline last month,' he said. 'This serves as a reminder of the extreme volatility in this revenue stream, and of its inherent unsuitability as a basis for permanent spending commitments,' Mr Donohoe said. 'That is why we have established the Future Ireland Fund (FIF) and the Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund (ICNF) to set aside some of this potentially temporary revenue to help further protect us in the future,' he said. 'Last month, Government transferred some €3 billion into the two funds, and when the remaining transfers are made towards the end of this year, there will be around €16 billion in the FIF and ICNF," Mr Donohoe said. The latest exchequer figures showed overall tax receipts were €49.5 billion in the first six months of the year, up by 4.5 per cent on the first half of last year. When once-off tax revenues of €1.7 billion arising from the European court ruling against Apple are excluded, the department said 'underlying' tax revenues stood at €47.7 billion, which was a 6.7 per cent up on last year. On a cumulative six-month basis, income tax receipts of €17.4 billion were 4.3 per cent ahead of last year, reflecting the ongoing strength of the labour market with headline unemployment remaining at a low of 4 per cent. June was a non-VAT-due month and therefore monthly receipts 'relatively modest,' the department said. Cumulative receipts from the transactions tax for the six-month period came to €11.6 billion, up by almost 6 per cent on last year's total at this stage. Total expenditure for the first half of the year amounted to €50.9 billion, up by 8.2 per cent on 2024 and ahead of the department's profile by 0.7 per cent. The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, the Government budgetary watchdog, is warning that overruns in day-to-day public spending are likely to top €2 billion this year. The department noted that year-on-year capital spending levels have increased substantially, with capital spending up 22.5 per cent overall. Minister for Public Expenditure Jack Chambers said: 'Today's figures show a significant increase in capital expenditure which underscores Government commitment to investing in the infrastructure our community needs and which is critical to enhancing our economic competitiveness,' he said. At a headline level, an exchequer surplus of €4.5 billion was recorded in the first half of the year.
