Early tester: Meta's rumored 'Watermelon' model writes, runs and checks its own code
kimmonismus · x · 2026-10-13
A blogger with early access says Meta's rumored new "Watermelon" model resisted trick questions, followed instructions precisely, and worked as a coding agent that wrote, ran and checked its own code. Creative writing is still dry, but overall performance matches its benchmarks. He adds the AI race is "at least a 3 lab race now." (Unverified early-access claim.)
