Meta's Open Models for Text and Video: Avocado and Mango
In 2026, Meta will release two new AI models: the language model Avocado and the multimedia model Mango. The flagship versions will be closed, while the company promises open variants built on the same base but with reduced functionality. No dates have been disclosed for the public release of those versions, but the logic is clear: first control over top-tier quality, then scaling the ecosystem. *Meta is designated an extremist organization and banned in Russia.
