Meta Platforms Delays Launch of AI Model 'Avocado' to May 2026
Meta Platforms has postponed the release of its next-generation AI model, codenamed 'Avocado', from March to at least May 2026 due to underperformance in internal benchmarks. The delay is a response to the model's shortcomings in reasoning, coding, and writing compared to competitors like Google's Gemini 3 and OpenAI's GPT-5. This setback may prompt Meta to reconsider its AI strategy and potentially explore licensing options to remain competitive in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
