Aya 23 is an open weights research release of an instruction fine-tuned model with highly advanced multilingual capabilities. Aya 23 focuses on pairing a highly performant pre-trained Command family of models with the recently released Aya Collection. The result is a powerful multilingual large language model serving 23 languages.
This model card corresponds to the 35-billion version of the Aya 23 model. We also released an 8-billion version which you can find here.
You can try out Aya 23 (35B) before downloading the weights in our hosted Hugging Face Space here.

Model Details
Input: Models input text only.
Output: Models generate text only.
Model Architecture: Aya-23-35B is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture. After pretraining, this model is fine-tuned (IFT) to follow human instructions.
Languages covered: The model is particularly optimized for multilinguality and supports the following languages: Arabic, Chinese (simplified & traditional), Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese
