Hi everyone!

Check out Aya Vision, a new set of open-weights models from Cohere For AI, and this is a significant step towards making AI truly global! Most vision-language models are heavily biased towards English. Aya Vision tackles this head-on by supporting 23 languages spoken by over half the world's population.

Here's why it's important:

🌍 Multilingual by Design: Excels at understanding and generating text and processing images/videos across a wide range of languages.
🖼️ Multimodal: Handles both images/videos and text.
🚀 Outperforms Larger Models: Cohere claims Aya Vision (8B and 32B versions) outperforms models many times their size (like Llama 3 90B!) on multilingual multimodal tasks.
🔓 Open Weights: Available on Hugging Face and Kaggle.
📱 Free on WhatsApp: You can even try Aya for free on !

They're also releasing a new benchmark, , specifically for evaluating multilingual multimodal performance. The goal is to build AI that understands the nuances of different cultures and languages, not just add more languages.

I can see this making a huge impact! Great job on the launch. 🔥

Aya Vision makes video meetings feel personal! 👀 Loving the immersive experience. Like if you’re all about better virtual connections! Wishing you clear and engaging meetings ahead!
