About Aya Expanse

Aya Expanse, developed by Cohere through the Cohere For AI research initiative, is a multilingual open-source model with 32 billion parameters and a 128K token context window supporting 23 languages. Building on Aya 23, it substantially extends context length and improves quality across diverse languages. The model demonstrates strong cross-lingual transfer, enabling tasks like translation, summarization, and question answering across language pairs with limited parallel training data. Its 128K context window makes it suitable for processing long documents in languages where few other models offer extended context. Free and open-source, Aya Expanse aims to democratize access to capable multilingual AI. The model is particularly valuable for researchers and organizations working in lower-resource languages that receive minimal attention from major commercial AI providers.
