 Key Points

 
 
 Meta is developing an image and video generation model codenamed **Mango** and a new text large language model called **Avocado** for a targeted first-half 2026 release.[1][3]

 
 Both models are being built inside **Meta Superintelligence Labs**, led by Scale AI co-founder Alexandr Wang, and were outlined in an internal Q&A with staff.[1][3][5]

 
 Mango is designed to advance multimodal image and video generation, while Avocado is aimed at significantly improving coding and reasoning capabilities over Meta’s current LLMs.[1][2][8]

 
 The projects are described internally as Meta’s first flagship models following a major AI reorganization and are intended to compete with frontier systems from OpenAI and Google.[1][4][7]

 
 Meta has discussed Mango and Avocado in internal roadmaps and blog updates but has not yet issued a formal public product launch announcement or fixed release date for the models.[1][6][8]

 New models Mango and Avocado targeted for 2026

 
 Reports from The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and other outlets say Meta is building Mango as a new image and video generation model and Avocado as a next-generation text large language model intended to improve on the company’s current Llama-based systems.[1][3][4] An internal Q&A held with employees and later described in media coverage outlined a roadmap to release the models in the first half of 2026.[1][3][7] According to these accounts, the timeline is an internal target rather than a publicly announced launch date and could still shift as development progresses.[1][4]

Meta has not issued a standalone public product announcement for Mango or Avocado but has referenced the projects in an update on its Meta Superintelligence Labs initiative and broader AI roadmap.[8] The company has confirmed its focus on more capable multimodal models and stronger coding performance but has not disclosed detailed technical specifications, model sizes or training data sources for Mango and Avocado.[1][8]
 
 
 
 
 Role of Meta Superintelligence Labs and leadership

 
 Both Mango and Avocado are being developed within Meta Superintelligence Labs, an internal organization created as part of Meta’s AI restructuring and focused on building more advanced foundation models.[1][4][8] The lab is led by Alexandr Wang, co-founder of data-labeling firm Scale AI, who joined Meta to oversee its push into wh
