Meta ditches AI tokenmaxxing, pushes Hatch agent
meta ends ai usage incentives for employees but encourages testing of its new agentic ai tool hatch.
meta has removed the incentive program that encouraged employees to use ai tools, known as tokenmaxxing, and will no longer evaluate their performance based on ai usage. instead, the company will focus on grading employees on their impact, with less regard to how it is achieved. meta is promoting its new agentic ai tool, hatch, which can browse the web and operate other applications. employees have been testing hatch for weeks, but some have expressed concerns about privacy and potential errors. the changes aim to emphasize what has always been the case - meta evaluates employees based on their contributions.
