Meta AI Agents: Slower Than Planned, Says Zuckerberg

Meta's AI agent development is moving slower than planned, according to Mark Zuckerberg. He admitted this during an internal town hall, stating the company's restructuring didn't go as smoothly as expected. Zuckerberg noted that the "trajectory of the agentic development over at least the last four months hasn't really accelerated in the way that we expected." What's interesting is that Meta's AI chief, Alexandr Wang, presented a more positive outlook at the same event. He claimed Meta's upcoming model, code-named "Watermelon," has caught up with OpenAI's top model, GPT-5.5. Wang also mentioned a Muse Spark update with significant improvements is coming soon. The bottom line is that while there are differing views internally, Meta is investing heavily, planning to spend up to $145 billion on AI infrastructure this year. This indicates a strong commitment to AI despite current challenges.
