The Tiny Aya family includes a system that’s conversant in over 70 languages, as well as one that can power applications that need to switch between vernaculars. Cohere Labs also launched models that specialize in widely used languages from Africa, Europe, West Asia, South Asia and Asia-Pacific. (The Logic)
Talking point: Cohere Labs, the non-profit research arm of Toronto AI firm Cohere, has long made multilingual AI systems a major focus. That includes languages spoken by large populations but that aren’t common on the English-dominated Internet. While Cohere has made the new and previous Aya models freely available, the technical advances its staff and research collaborators made while developing the technology have helped improve the firm’s commercial products. Tuesday’s launch also shows the company can build small. Cohere claims Tiny Aya was trained on a single cluster of 64 Nvidia AI chips, and can run on a phone. The firm has touted its technology as more efficient than competitors to both develop and run, crucial to potential users working in low-connectivity zones like remote regions or the open seas.
