Meta delays the launch of its latest AI model to May from this month due to performance issues, NewYork Times reported

  • Meta is once again delaying the launch of its latest AI model (Avocado) to May from this month after it failed to outperform those of Google, OpenAI and Anthropic on internal tests for reasoning, coding and writing, NewYork Times reported citing three company sources.

  • The sources said Avocado did better than Gemini 2.5 but has not performed as strongly as Gemini 3.0.

  • A Meta spoekesperson seemed to confirmed the report as he signaled that the release will mainly be about trajectory they are in.

    “As we’ve said publicly, our next model will be good but, more importantly, show the rapid trajectory we’re on, and then we’ll steadily push the frontier over the course of the year as we continue to release new models. We’re excited for people to see what we’ve been cooking very soon.”
