Meta is reportedly targeting a June launch for its frontier model codenamed Avocado, according to sources cited in recent reporting. The model has slipped past several earlier deadlines, with a previously planned spring release pushed back.
Reporting indicates that internal benchmark results have lagged leading rivals, with Avocado said to trail top models on the multi-step reasoning and software-engineering tasks that matter most to enterprise customers, while matching or exceeding earlier Meta and mid-tier models on some reasoning and coding evaluations.
The delays have drawn scrutiny given the scale of Meta's AI spending and its reorganization of research efforts under a dedicated superintelligence group.
Meta has not publicly confirmed a final release date, and the timeline remains subject to change.
