Meta is developing a new image and video model for a 2026 release, report says

It's all hands on deck at Meta, as the company develops new AI models under its superintelligence lab led by Scale AI co-founder, Alexandr Wang. The company is now working on an image and video model codenamed "Mango" along with a new text-based model internally known as "Avocado," The Wall Street Journal reported.

The tech giant plans to release the new models in the first half of 2026, the publication said, citing an internal Q&A at Meta on Thursday, where Wang and chief product officer Chris Cox unveiled the new roadmap.
