About

What is Mango AI?

Mango is Meta's codename for a next-generation multimodal image and video generation AI model, developed inside Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) — Meta's elite AI research division led by Alexandr Wang. First revealed during an internal Q&A session on December 18, 2025, Mango represents Meta's most ambitious push into generative media.

Built on a diffusion-transformer (DiT) architecture, Mango goes beyond simple pixel generation — it learns the laws of physics alongside visual synthesis, enabling generated objects to maintain realistic shape, mass, and velocity over time. This "world model" approach dramatically reduces the physics hallucinations that plague other video generation models.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Mango AI is Meta's next-generation image and video generation model, built on a diffusion-transformer architecture with world-model physics understanding. It's being developed inside Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) and is expected to launch in the first half of 2026.

Mango AI's key differentiator is its world model approach — it learns physics, causality, and temporal continuity alongside visual generation. This reduces the physics hallucinations common in other models. It also benefits from Meta's massive Instagram data advantage and planned integration with Instagram Reels and WhatsApp.

Meta is targeting a first-half 2026 launch. Private beta invites are expected in spring 2026, following a strategy similar to the Llama-2 release. The public launch will include integration with Instagram Reels and WhatsApp.

Mango AI offers three subscription plans — Basic ($9.90/mo), Standard ($19.90/mo), and Pro ($49.90/mo). Each plan includes a monthly credit allocation that resets every billing cycle. You can save 50% by choosing annual billing. All plans include commercial use license, no watermarks, and private generation.

Mango AI can generate high-fidelity images from text prompts, 5-10 second video clips with temporal coherence, video-to-video transformations, and content with controllable camera motions, lighting, and style presets. It also features industry-leading lip-sync capabilities.

Mango AI is developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs, led by Alexandr Wang (the 28-year-old founder of Scale AI). The team includes 50+ engineers and AI specialists, with 20+ researchers recruited from OpenAI by Mark Zuckerberg personally.
