Internal memos: Meta said Avocado is its “most capable pre-trained base model” and achieves 10x compute efficiency “wins” on text tasks over 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.
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.
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…
@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...
Meta is dropping hints that it's Avocado Model is going to kick ass and may be the best pre-trained model EVER That's a pretty tall claim - so will it beat Opus 4.5? 😅
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…
