For months now, Meta has been on a hiring spree for its new Superintelligence Labs, bringing in top AI talent with high compensation packages to compete in the AI race. Now, it seems like the company’s efforts are starting to show results. Meta’s Chief Technology Officer, Andrew Bosworth, has revealed that the lab has delivered its first high-profile AI models internally.
Speaking at a press briefing during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Bosworth said the models built by the Meta Superintelligence Labs team showed a lot of promise, reports Reuters. “They’re basically six months into the work, not quite even,” he said, describing the models as “very good.”
Last month, it was reported that Meta is developing a text-based AI model codenamed Avocado, expected to launch in the first quarter of 2026, and a model focused on images and video called Mango. Bosworth did not confirm which specific models had been delivered internally.

Bosworth emphasised that the technology is still in development. “There’s a tremendous amount of work to do post-training” for AI “to actually deliver the model in a way that’s usable internally and by consumers,” he said.

Reflecting on 2025, Bosworth called it a “tremendously chaotic year” for building the lab, setting up infrastructure, and securing computing power. Despite the challenges, he said Meta is already seeing positive returns from its investments.
Looking ahead, he said 2026 and 2027 will be critical years for consumer AI. He added that recent advances have created models that answer “the kinds of things that you ask every day with your family, your kids,” and further improvements are expected to handle more complex questions.
