Meta tests Avocado 9B, Avocado Mango Agent, and more (2 minute read)

Meta's Avocado model has been pushed back to at least May as it still falls short of leading systems from competitors. The company appears to be running parallel experiments with multiple Avocado variants. The model appears to be able to solve complex math problems that earlier Llama models could not, but these problems have already been solved by other labs months earlier. Meta's AI leadership has reportedly discussed temporarily licensing Google's Gemini technology. Some requests within Meta AI are already being routed through Gemini models.
