Meta’s VP of Engineering Barak Yagour took the stage at VB Transform 2026 wearing Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses. His core message was blunt: the infrastructure powering most organizations today was designed for human users, and it simply cannot handle the demands of autonomous AI agents operating at scale.
Meta’s agent infrastructure push
In June 2026, Meta launched its Business Agent platform, designed for rapid enterprise deployment. The platform integrates with tools like Shopify and Zendesk, enabling AI agents to handle customer queries, scheduling, and other operational tasks without requiring months of custom engineering.
A month later, in July 2026, Meta released Muse Spark 1.1, an advanced multimodal model built specifically for agentic reasoning. The model improves tool usage, coding capabilities, and the ability to complete multi-step tasks autonomously.
Yagour has been with Meta since at least 2019, moving from Director of Data Infrastructure to his current VP role.
