Muse Spark 1.3 is the latest model from a relatively smaller pre-train Meta did, internally codenamed Avocado.
Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
True if, as of 2026-09-15, Meta's latest released model in the Muse Spark line is version 1.3 and comes from a relatively smaller pre-training run internally codenamed Avocado, as shown by Meta's own announcements or credible reporting. Mostly true if the model and the Avocado codename match but a minor detail is off (for example the exact version number, or whether it is the very latest). Mostly false if Muse Spark is linked to Avocado but is from a large flagship pre-train rather than a smaller one, or the codename belongs to a different model. False if Muse Spark 1.3 does not derive from an Avocado pre-train or no such model exists.

“Wonder is the next, significantly larger pre-train, built by repeatedly climbing through model tiers roughly four or five times larger before committing to the frontier run.”
Reasoning
Independent trackers date Muse Spark 1.3's release to early September 2026 (E2, E3, E11), and E2 and E3 identify it as the newest or current Muse Spark model. Meta's own release post (E1) does not mention a pre-training run, its size, or the codename Avocado. The only sources linking the Spark line to Avocado (E9), saying the Spark versions share a pre-train (E10) and describing Wonder as a significantly larger pre-train (E12) are bidclub.ai items, which are marked as not independent of the subject; no official record or independent report in the evidence confirms these points. The central part of the claim therefore rests only on the subject's own statements.
