Meta is reportedly launching 'Hatch,' a consumer-grade agent comparable to OpenAI's offering, capable of controlling apps like DoorDash and Reddit. Launch is expected in weeks with a premium tier at $200/mo. Separately, the 'Watermelon' model is slated for October; Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang claims it matches GPT-5.5 on internal benchmarks at 10x lower compute cost, though these benchmarks are unverified.
