Meta may launch a new AI mega model Avocado early next year.

Insiders have revealed that Meta may release a new large language model "Avocado" in the first quarter of 2026 to further compete with companies like Google and OpenAI. Market rumors in June this year suggested that Meta executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, have discussed "reducing investment" in their Llama series language models and instead adopting models developed by competitors such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
