Aya Command 23 8b And 35b Technical Report 2024 05 23

Cohere's Aya 23 explores whether concentrating model capacity on fewer languages can improve performance within that set. The publisher abstract describes a move from the earlier Aya model's 101 languages to 23, and reports better results than Aya 101 on the languages covered.

The release includes models with 8 billion and 35 billion parameters. Its reported contribution is stronger multilingual performance within a narrower language selection. The abstract does not establish comparable gains for languages outside that selection.
