AI BriefingMeta Testing Paricado Model Lineup and Health Agent
Key point
It has been confirmed that Meta is testing a Paricado model lineup and a Health agent in addition to its next-generation Avocado models.
Details
Meta's next-generation AI model development is progressing faster than what has been publicly revealed. Recent testing has confirmed an Avocado model lineup that is distinct from the existing Llama 4.
The Avocado lineup includes the following variants:
- Avocado Mango: Possesses solid multimodal capabilities, including SVG generation
- Avocado 9B: A lightweight model with 9 billion parameters
- Avocado TH (Think Hard): A reasoning-specialized version
Meta reportedly delayed the release of Avocado to May 2026 because internal benchmark results fell short of competitors, and is even said to be considering licensing Google's Gemini.
In addition, a new model lineup called Paricado has been discovered. Paricado exists in three configurations—text-only, reasoning, and multimodal (image/video understanding)—and it remains unclear whether it is a successor to Avocado or a separate lineup.
Beyond this, Document Agent and Health Agent modes have also been confirmed. This aligns with the industry trend of strengthening AI tools for the medical field, and these are likely to be introduced into consumer products in the future.
