The release of Aya, a new open-source, massively multilingual generative language model, marks a significant advancement in the field of artificial intelligence. Developed by a global team of 3,000 researchers from 119 countries over a year-long project, Aya stands out by covering more than twice as many languages as its predecessors, totaling 101 different languages. This achievement, highlighted in reports by Alison Snyder for Axios and celebrated by contributors to the project, underscores the potential for accelerating multilingual AI progress.
Fascinating benchmark in the Google Gemini Pro 1.5 report: given the 500+ available pages of reference material on a language with 200 speakers (not available online), the AI is able translate with close to the ability of humans using the same material. https://t.co/TNNcbncpKL https://t.co/7YMcGbemoC
I am proud to be one of 3,000 humans who built Aya - a new massively multilingual, generative LLM that outperforms existing open-source models and covers 101 different languages. Together, we are accelerating multilingual AI with @CohereForAI https://t.co/vmQ6Oq4f8w https://t.co/AaCtxVcc2H
Fantastic spotlight from @alisonmsnyder reporting for @axios on AYA. Provides a great overview of what it means for multilingual progress. 🔥 https://t.co/fC42DOBWXE
