Meta CEO reports AI agent development pace slower than anticipated despite organizational restructuring

According to Reuters and TechCrunch, Mark Zuckerberg told Meta staff in an internal town hall that AI agent development has not accelerated as expected, despite the company laying off 8,000 employees and reassigning 7,000 others to AI groups including Agent Transformation. Zuckerberg stated the restructuring had not been as clean as intended and that the upside from new AI-focused units had not yet materialized, though he projected improvements over three to six months.
