Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg tells employees that the company’s AI agent technology is advancing more slowly than he expected. Multiple outlets report that the comments come from an internal town hall, where Zuckerberg discusses the pace of “agentic” development over recent months and says the trajectory has not accelerated as planned. Several reports link the admission to a recent corporate reorganisation intended to speed progress, including large-scale layoffs. Zuckerberg also acknowledges that the restructuring was not carried out as cleanly as it should have been and that leadership misjudged the timing of the changes. Separate reporting notes that Meta’s AI infrastructure spending for the year could be very high—one figure cited is up to $145 billion—while acknowledging that the company’s AI agent plans have not yet produced the expected results. Additional coverage says Meta is making changes to its AI training approach, including making certain training opt-in after a reported data leak. Overall, the sources describe a rare instance of Zuckerberg publicly admitting internal delays in the company’s AI agent roadmap while referencing organisational changes and leadership decisions.
