Meta is reportedly training a new AI model named 'Watermelon' that its superintelligence chief Alexandr Wang claims is on par with OpenAI's GPT-5.5. This development comes as Meta continues its significant investment in AI, with Wang suggesting an "Opus-level" coding model could be released soon. While Watermelon is still in training and requires substantial compute, its performance could mark a notable improvement for Meta's AI capabilities, though the rapidly advancing frontier of AI models presents ongoing competition. AI
IMPACT Meta's potential advancement with 'Watermelon' could intensify competition in the frontier model space, pushing other labs to accelerate their own developments.
