Our Reading

The launch follows a familiar script.

Cohere’s Tiny Aya models are the latest in a long line of compact language models. They support over 70 languages, because who doesn’t need to translate obscure dialects on their toaster? The models are designed to be efficient, because that’s what everyone says about their AI models. Cohere claims they can be used for language translation and text generation, which is exactly what every other language model claims.

Original observation: It’s like they put Google Translate in a blender and hit puree.
