Meta has reportedly postponed the launch of its next artificial intelligence model, codenamed Avocado, shifting its release from the current month to at least May, as reported by The New York Times. The delay is attributed to the model's performance, which apparently falls short when compared to leading rivals such as Google.
This development follows Meta's investment of billions of dollars in its efforts to accelerate its AI capabilities. Avocado was slated to be the company's first major AI unveiling since the appointment of Scale's Alexandr Wang, who was brought in specifically to revamp Meta's overarching artificial intelligence strategy.
