> “ The model, code-named Avocado, outperformed Meta’s previous A.I. model and did better than Google’s Gemini 2.5 model from March, two of the people said. But it has not performed as strongly as Gemini 3.0 from November, they said.” So in two months they will make it better than 3.1? But by then there will probably be even newer models. It would be great if we get another competing model, but it isn’t going to be easy for Meta.
