Internal memos: Meta said Avocado is its “most capable pre-trained base model” and achieves 10x compute efficiency “wins” on text tasks vs. Llama 4 Maverick
Meta Platforms is sounding an increasingly bullish note about the first major AI model expected to emerge from its new AI group.
@negligible_cap Don't forget that the problems with llama 4 were on post training. Good to see that pre training is doing well but the avengers still have to show that they can fix the post training...
In a separate memo from mid-December, Meta said it is seeing 10 times compute efficiency “wins” with Avocado on text-related tasks compared to Maverick and over 100 times efficiency gains over Behemoth, a version of Llama 4 that Meta delayed last year https://www.theinformation.c…
Per The Information, the new $META Avocado model is now Meta's most capable pre-trained base model to date. Not sure how much that means but “Meta said it is seeing 10 times compute efficiency “wins” with Avocado on text-related tasks compared to Maverick and over 100 times [imag…
Scoop: Meta says its next-gen AI model, Avocado, is its “most capable pre-trained base model to date,” according to an internal memo. It finished pretraining the model, which outperformed top open-source base models.
