Model Card for Aya Expanse 8B
Aya Expanse 8B is an open-weight research release of a model with highly advanced multilingual capabilities. It focuses on pairing a highly performant pre-trained Command family of models with the result of a year’s dedicated research from Cohere For AI, including data arbitrage, multilingual preference training, safety tuning, and model merging. The result is a powerful multilingual large language model.
This model card corresponds to the 8-billion version of the Aya Expanse model. We also released an 32-billion version which you can find here.

How to Use Aya Expanse
Install the transformers library and load Aya Expanse 8B as follows:
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
model_id = "CohereForAI/aya-expanse-8b"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
# Format the message with the chat template
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Anneme onu ne kadar sevdiğimi anlatan bir mektup yaz"}]
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt")
## <BOS_TOKEN><|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|USER_TOKEN|>Anneme onu ne kadar sevdiğimi anlatan bir mektup yaz<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|CHATBOT_TOKEN|>
gen_tokens = model.generate(
input_ids,
max_new_tokens=100,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.3,
)
gen_text = tokenizer.decode(gen_tokens[0])
print(gen_text)

Evaluation
We evaluated Aya Expanse 8B against Gemma 2 9B, Llama 3.1 8B, Ministral 8B, and Qwen 2.5 7B using the dolly_human_edited subset from the Aya Evaluation Suite dataset and m-ArenaHard, a dataset based on the Arena-Hard-Auto dataset and translated to the 23 languages we support in Aya Expanse 8B. Win-rates were determined using gpt-4o-2024-08-06 as a judge. For a conservative benchmark, we report results from gpt-4o-2024-08-06, though gpt-4o-mini scores showed even stronger performance.
The m-ArenaHard dataset, used to evaluate Aya Expanse’s capabilities, is publicly available here.
