Meta has delayed the launch of its next-generation AI model, Avocado, from this month until after May, the New York Times reported. The delay follows internal performance tests that showed the model trailing leading offerings from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic.

Meta executives are also discussing a temporary licensing option for Google’s Gemini for its AI products, but no final decision has been made.
