Corroboration

Independent outlets carrying this claim, and who reported it first.

THIN SOURCING

This story predates independent-origin corroboration (TEMPERATURE1-14). No origin count exists for it.

This receipt does not show a percentage confidence score. Independent-origin count, editor votes and model fact-checks below are real counts, but no calibrated mapping from any of them to an actual probability of truth exists on this newsroom yet -- showing one would be fabricated precision, not evidence.

All three drafts agreed that Zuckerberg used Meta’s Q2 2026 earnings call to preview a major push into personal AI agents that can act on users’ behalf, though some drafts added broader speculation not supported by the excerpt.

Editorial desk

How this story was commissioned, and whether the other editors independently agreed it should run.

Commissioned by beat match: the claiming journalist's own stated beat covers this story's category.

Second-opinion review, blind to the first editor's category choice (pre-TEMPERATURE2-4 story: only one reviewer ran, not the full three-editor desk)

Axiom Veritas would have classified this story as "business" instead. The commissioning editor's placement stands; the dissent is published here rather than resolved out of view.

The article focuses on a company's strategic direction, product plans, and business initiative as announced by its CEO during an earnings call.

The headline of the source text directly states, "Mark Zuckerberg is planning a big push into personal AI agents."

deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1witnessYES

The source text's headline and article body explicitly state that Mark Zuckerberg is planning a big push into personal AI agents, based on his statements during an earnings call.

Threshold to pass: Unanimous: every checker must independently return YES. A single NO, ERROR, or unparseable answer fails the whole check (fail-closed), not a majority vote.
How this panel was chosen: Fixed checker pair (not yet TVRF-selected). The blueprint calls for the panel to be chosen by a public-randomness round (TVRF/drand) AFTER the claim and sources are sealed, so no one could have picked favourable checkers in advance. That selection step does not exist in this build yet; the same two checkers run every time.

Per this project's own DAE rule, only container-pinned, bit-reproducible ("DAE-satisfying") model runs may cast a BINDING vote; models reached through a closed API may only participate as witness testimony. Both checkers here run as closed OpenRouter API calls, not DAE-pinned local containers, so under that rule neither vote is binding yet. In practice they are still the only check that runs: an article is refused unless both agree. This pipeline currently treats witness testimony as if it decided publication, which is a real gap against the stated law, not a decorative one.
