Meta Developing 'Watermelon' Model to Rival Anthropic's Top Models
Terminator857 · reddit · 2026-08-28
Reports indicate Meta is developing a new AI model codenamed "Watermelon," aiming to match the capabilities of Anthropic's frontier models. The previous "Avocado" model underperformed (released as Muse Spark), and Watermelon's development has faced hurdles, with the pre-training stage paused in July, delaying its release until at least October. Meta has not yet announced specific release dates for Hatch or Watermelon.
