Meta’s push to develop its next frontier model, codenamed avocado, under new ai leadership is creating internal friction as it races rivals openai and google. Llama 4 scout and llama 4 maverick, the first mixture of experts (moe) models released by meta, provide frontier multimodal performance, high speeds, low cost, and industry leading context length.
