A sequence of integers $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_k$ is called fibtastic if the difference between any two consecutive elements in the sequence is a Fibonacci number. The integers from $1$ to $2024$ are split into two groups, each written in increasing order. Group A is $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_m$ and Group B is $b_1, b_2, \dots, b_n.$ Find the largest integer $M$ such that we can guarantee that we can pick $M$ consecutive elements from either Group A or Group B which form a fibtastic sequence.
