Zuckerberg: Meta's AI progress slower than hoped amid restructuring

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at an internal town hall that AI agent tech hasn’t progressed as quickly as hoped, and the sweeping restructuring that cut about 10% of the workforce and reassigned roughly 7,000 employees to AI-focused roles hasn’t yet borne the expected fruit; he cited optimism about tools like Anthropic’s Claude Code and said Meta could spend up to $145 billion on AI infrastructure this year, with meaningful benefits expected in 3–6 months.
