� Meta says its Avocado model is its most advanced pretraining yet

� Meta internally described a new model codenamed Avocado as the company’s most advanced pretrained model so far.

� The claim appears in an internal memo seen by The Information and written by Megan Foo from Meta Superintelligence Labs.

� According to the memo, Avocado outperformed leading open models in internal benchmarks.

� Despite having no post-training, it is already competitive with top fine-tuned systems.

The comparison focus on open models suggests pretraining is largely complete. Meta previously signaled it may move away from open weights, which makes Avocado’s positioning notable.
