US EditionMeta CEO Mark Zuckerberg dodged Wall Street's AI questions — and called it a long game
Zuckerberg emphasized steady AI model releases through 2026, citing Meta's 24% revenue growth and $43.6 billion free cash flow to support ongoing AI investments.
- On Wednesday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg declined to promise a single breakthrough AI model and described the effort as a long-term progression, asking investors for patience as Meta rolls out initial models over the coming months.
- After missed Llama timelines and developer complaints, Wall Street analysts have demanded clearer proof that Meta's AI reset under Alexandr Wang at Meta Superintelligence Labs will deliver frontier models.
- The company said Meta's revenue jumped 24% to $59.9 billion in the final quarter of 2025, with ad clicks rising 3.5% and conversions over 1%, supporting ongoing AI investments.
- Analysts reacted by pressing for clearer evidence, with Brian Mulberry calling Zuckerberg's remarks 'no real substance' and Barclays analyst Ross Sandler warning Meta's patient AI approach carries risk.
- Zuckerberg argued AI lets talented employees replace big teams, recruiters warned human judgement remains vital, yet Meta grew employees roughly six per cent last quarter.
