AI agent development hasnt accelerated as expected, says Zuckerberg

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said AI agent development at the firm is progressing more slowly than expected, even as technology and crypto firms continue pouring resources into the nascent technology.　　In a company meeting on Thursday, Zuckerberg said the “trajectory of the agentic development over at least the last four months hasnt really accelerated in the way that we expected,” according to Reuters, which reviewed a recording of the call.　　The bet on agent adoption hasn‘t “come to fruition yet,” Zuckerberg said, adding that executives made an aggressive push into agentic infrastructure in January in part because of fears they weren’t moving “fast enough.”　　Despite the slower progress, Zuckerberg said he expects the firms AI investments to start paying off within the next three to six months.　　Zuckerbergs comments offer a reality check for technology and crypto firms betting that autonomous agents will soon become major users of blockchain payments. Meta, along with several crypto firms, has bet big on agentic AI, with many pivoting their business models to cater to autonomous AI agents.　　In May, Meta cut roughly 10% of its workforce and reassigned about 7,000 employees to AI-focused teams — a restructuring Zuckerberg acknowledged was not as clean as it could have been,
