Facebook’s parent company Meta has pushed back the launch of its newest artificial intelligence technology by at least two months, according to a Thursday report from The New York Times.
The social media giant had originally planned to release its latest AI system, which goes by the internal name “Avocado,” sometime in March. However, three sources familiar with the company’s plans told the Times that the launch has now been moved to May at the earliest.
The report provides few details about what caused the delay or what capabilities the new AI model will offer when it eventually launches.
Reuters was unable to independently confirm the information about Meta’s revised timeline for the AI rollout.
