Market Discussion
Prediction markets, as of Nov 12, 2026, assign a very low probability (1-2%) to Meta releasing Llama 5 this year, with an analyst estimating fair value at just 1¢ due to perceived overpricing of speculative AI releases [1][2][3][4][5]. Meta has not announced or confirmed Llama 5; instead, it released Muse Spark as a replacement for Llama in April 2026 and open-sourced Muse Glimmer on Aug 10, 2026 [6][7][8]. Despite social media speculation, including a July 2026 report of a frontier model codenamed Watermelon, independent reporting indicates no Llama 5 exists [7][8][9][10].
