According to monitoring by 1M AI News, Meta is conducting parallel internal tests of at least five variants of the Avocado model: 1. Avocado 9B: a smaller version with 9 billion parameters; 2. Avocado Mango: labeled as 'agent' and 'sub-agent', a multimodal variant supporting image generation; 3. Avocado TOMM: short for 'Tool of Many Models', a multi-model scheduling architecture based on Avocado; 4. Avocado Thinking 5.6: the latest version of the inference model; 5. Paricado: a pure text dialogue model. The parallel development of multiple product lines indicates that Meta has not yet determined the final shipping form. Notably, some user requests for Meta AI have already been processed using the Google Gemini model, moving beyond the previously reported 'internal discussion' stage. Avocado's release has been delayed from March to as early as May due to its internal testing lagging behind the cutting-edge models of Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Additionally, Avocado is expected to adopt a closed-source release, marking a clear shift in Meta's approach from the open-source path of the Llama era. Under Zuckerberg's pursuit of superintelligence, Meta's AI strategy is shifting from 'open-source benchmark' to 'performance-first'.
