According to Odaily, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is deeply involved in daily research and development, steering the company's strategy towards monetizable artificial intelligence models after investing billions of dollars in building one of the most expensive teams in tech history. Insiders reveal that a new model, codenamed 'Avocado,' is expected to be released in the spring of 2026, potentially as a closed-source product controlled and sold by Meta. This move marks a significant departure from Meta's long-standing advocacy for open-source initiatives. Zuckerberg is dedicating substantial time to a core team known as TBD Lab, which is integrating third-party models such as Google's Gemma, OpenAI's gpt-oss, and Alibaba's Qwen during the training of Avocado. Concurrently, Meta is significantly reallocating resources, reducing investments in the metaverse and virtual reality, and redirecting funds towards hardware like AI glasses. The company plans to invest $600 billion in AI infrastructure in the United States over the next three years.

Months after investing tens of billions of dollars to build the most expensive team in tech history, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is deeply involved in day-to-day R&D and pushing the company's strategy towards directly monetizable AI models. According to sources, a new model codenamed "Avocado" is expected to be released in the spring of 2026, and may be released in a closed-source format (meaning Meta will strictly control access and sell it to external parties). This move marks a significant departure from Meta's long-standing advocacy of open-source principles. Zuckerberg is dedicating considerable time to a core team called TBD Lab, which, in training Avocado, even integrated third-party models including Google's Gemma, OpenAIgpt-oss, and Alibaba's Qwen. Meanwhile, Meta is drastically adjusting resource allocation, cutting investment in the Metaverse and virtual reality, shifting funds towards hardware such as AI glasses, and planning to invest $600 billion in AI infrastructure in the US over the next three years.

According to Solidus Labs, a Telegram group called “PumpCell” orchestrated multiple highly coordinated pump-and-dump scams on Solana and BNB Chain. The group used synchronized token deployments, sniper-bot buy-ins, fabricated narratives, and meme-driven hype to inflate the valuations of small-cap tokens to seven-figure levels within minutes. Solidus Labs' investigation revealed that the group estimated to have profited $800,000 by October 2025, transferring funds through centralized exchanges and over-the-counter (OTC) cash brokers, allegedly to evade regulatory compliance. Solidus Labs points out that the anonymity of Automated Market Makers (AMMs), bot-executed trades, and cross-chain transactions in the crypto asset market makes such schemes difficult to detect with traditional monitoring tools. The agency warns that “PumpCell” reflects a broader evolution in digital asset abuse patterns.
