An internal memo from Meta’s Superintelligence Labs identifies "Avocado," a next-generation large language model, as the company’s most capable pre-trained base model to date. The model has officially completed its pre-training phase.
Avocado demonstrates performance competitive with leading models from OpenAI and Google. It shows significant capabilities in knowledge, visual perception, and multilingual tasks.
Meta may keep the model proprietary to facilitate deep integration within Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. This strategic shift signals Meta’s ambition to secure a leadership position in artificial general intelligence (AGI).
External parties cannot verify the model’s actual performance until Meta proceeds with a public release.
