Overview
Meta is currently developing a next-generation text-focused AI model aimed at significantly improving coding capability, with an expected release window in 2026.
This project, internally named “Avocado,” is intended to strengthen the model’s ability to understand, generate, and refactor code across complex programming tasks, while also improving general text reasoning and instruction-following.
The broader objective is to deliver a more capable foundation model that can support smarter assistants and developer-facing features across Meta’s products.
Although Meta has faced challenges keeping pace with rivals in recent AI cycles, the development of this new text model signals a continued push to compete at the top tier of AI systems.
