Meta CEO Zuckerberg had planned to launch a new artificial intelligence model called "Avocado," but due to test performance falling short of competitors, the release has been postponed to at least May. While the model outperforms its predecessor, it does not match the level of Google and OpenAI.

Abstract generation in progress

Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 13 — According to The New York Times, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated last July that the company’s new artificial intelligence model would be launched within about a year. However, three informed sources reveal that Zuckerberg seems increasingly unable to meet that deadline. Sources say that Meta’s new generation “frontier” AI model, developed over several months, has not performed at the level of leading AI models from competitors like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic in internal tests for reasoning, programming, and writing capabilities. Two insiders disclosed that the model codenamed “Avocado” outperforms Meta’s previous AI models but falls short of the “Gemini 3.0” model launched last November. As a result, Meta has delayed the release of the “Avocado” product from this month to at least May. (Jin10 Data)
