Zuckerberg says AI agent development going slower than expected

Mark Zuckerberg said that the development of AI agents is progressing more slowly than anticipated, acknowledging that the technology still faces significant hurdles before becoming widely useful.

Background

- Mark Zuckerberg's comments refer to the development of AI "agents" — software systems that can autonomously perform tasks for users (e.g., booking trips, managing schedules). Major tech companies including Meta have been racing to build such agents since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. - While large language models (LLMs) like Meta's Llama or OpenAI's GPT have rapidly improved at conversation and content generation, building agents that can reliably execute multi-step, real-world tasks (interacting with external apps and services) has proven much harder due to issues like unreliability, security concerns, and lack of robust infrastructure. - Meta is the company behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and has been aggressively investing in AI, including releasing open-source LLMs (Llama) and integrating AI features into its products. - This matters because the broader tech industry narrative in 2024-2026 has been about an imminent "agentic AI" revolution. Zuckerberg's acknowledgment of slower-than-expected progress is a notable reality check from a key player, mirroring similar cautious signals from other firms.

Max Weinbach says he had early access to OpenAI's new model GPT-5.6 Sol, calling it his favorite model by far. He highlights that it never gives up and will keep reasoning until it's done. OpenAI announced that GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly on Thursday, with preview access expanding globally now.

The US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for all customers, citing a potential jailbreak technique that involved asking the model to review a codebase for vulnerabilities—a capability Anthropic says is available in other public models. Access was abruptly cut off on June 12.

Andrej Karpathy announces the release of Claude Fable 5, the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. He calls it a major step forward, particularly for long problem-solving sessions on difficult tasks, and describes it as state-of-the-art on nearly all benchmarks with exceptional performance in software engineering, research, and vision.

Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.

Meta's engineering culture is deteriorating under Mark Zuckerberg and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who have introduced keyboard tracking, reassignments to data labeling, and AI-centric performance metrics. Critics argue this incentivizes performative AI use, drives away experienced engineers, and contributed to a major Instagram hijacking incident caused by AI-written and AI-reviewed code.
