On December 15, 2023 the Aya UI closed for contributions of multilingual data. To mark this occasion, we hosted a live-streamed event, featuring lightning talks from some of our 3,000+ Aya collaborators, across 119 countries.
Aya is a year-long open science initiative to accelerate multilingual AI across 101 languages. Supported by Cohere For AI, the Aya dataset and model will be released open source in early 2024. Follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn for updates.
