Mark Zuckerberg ‘predicts AI will write the bigger part of the Meta code within 12 to 18 months
Mark Zuckerberg says he believes most of Meta’s code will be written by AI agents somewhere in the next year and a half. Zuckerberg made the forecast during interview with a podquast Darker Patel.
“I suppose somewhere in the next 12 to 18 months we will get to the point where the bigger part of the code that goes to these efforts was written by AI,” Zuckerberg said, citing the company’s efforts to build internal agents of AI. “And I don’t want to say as an auto -Complication … I’m talking more like giving him a goal, he can do tests, he can improve things, he can find problems, writes a higher quality code from the average very good person in the team.”
Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg:
“Within 12-18 months, most of the code is written by AI”
This will not be just filling out.

This is not the first time Zuckerberg has made this type of forecasts. During his uncomfortable appearance of Joe Rogan’s experience Earlier this year, he said: “Probably in 2025, we at Meta, as well as the other companies that mainly work on this, will have AIs that can effectively be something like a middle-level engineer you have in your company that can write code.”
Notice how the target posts have moved. Less than five months ago, Zuckerberg said that encoding agents that can effectively replace most human programmers are at reach. Now these same systems will not arrive until mid-2026.
The changing deadlines emphasize exactly why we should be critical of the AI ​​industry and its numerous promises. Ai agents can very well one day replace the middle -level programmers, but currently forecasts like the one made by Zuckerberg and many others At best, there are advertisements for technology that still does not exist and can never be presented at a level that their defenders say they will do it.
