Overview
- Reports from an internal Q&A indicate Meta is building Mango for high-quality image and video generation and Avocado as a next LLM focused on coding, reasoning, and early work on world models.
- Both projects are now guided toward a first-half 2026 launch window, with Avocado pushed back from an earlier late-2025 expectation.
- Alexandr Wang discussed the plans alongside Chief Product Officer Chris Cox, reflecting an intensified AI push following Meta’s internal reorganization.
- Coverage cites recruitment of new AI talent under Meta Superintelligence Labs, though specific hiring figures come from unnamed sources.
- Some outlets report Meta may limit free access and charge for models like Mango, a possible strategy shift from prior open Llama releases that Meta has not confirmed.
