This repository contains executable weights (which we call
llamafiles) that run on
Linux, MacOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD for AMD64 and ARM64.
Alternatively, you may download an official llamafile executable from
Mozilla Ocho on GitHub, in which case you can use the Mixtral llamafiles
as a simple weights data file.
The maximum context size of this model is 8192 tokens. These llamafiles
use a default context size of 512 tokens. Whenever you need the maximum
context size to be available with llamafile for any given model, you can
pass the -c 0 flag. The temperature on these llamafiles is set to zero
by default, because it helps. This can be changed, e.g. --temp 0.8.
License
The aya-34-8B license requires:
You can't use these weights for commercial purposes
You have to give Cohere credit if you share or fine tune it
You can't use it for purposes they consider unacceptable, such as
spam, misinformation, etc. The license says they can change the
definition of acceptable use at will.
The CC-BY-NC 4.0 stipulates no downstream restrictions, so you can't
tack on your own list of unacceptable uses too if you create and
distribute a fine-tuned version.
This special license only applies to the LLM weights (i.e. the .gguf
file inside .llamafile). The llamafile software itself is permissively
licensed, having only components licensed under terms like Apache 2.0,
MIT, BSD, ISC, zlib, etc.
About llamafile
llamafile is a new format introduced by Mozilla Ocho on Nov 20th 2023.
It uses Cosmopolitan Libc to turn LLM weights into runnable llama.cpp
binaries that run on the stock installs of six OSes for both ARM64 and
AMD64.
In addition to being executables, llamafiles are also zip archives. Each
llamafile contains a GGUF file, which you can extract using the unzip
command. If you want to change or add files to your llamafiles, then the
zipalign command (distributed on the llamafile github) should be used
instead of the traditional zip command.

Model Summary
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 8-billion version of the Aya 23 model. We also released a 35-billion version which you can find here.

Model Details
Input: Models input text only.
Output: Models generate text only.
Model Architecture: Aya-23-8B 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
Context length: 8192
