Aya provides AI researchers a groundbreaking foundation to accelerate multilingual AI progress. Aya is one of the largest open science endeavors in machine learning to date – redefining the research landscape by collaborating with independent researchers from across the globe. The result is a fully open-sourced dataset and model.
The Aya model follows instructions and generates responses of significantly higher quality than mT0x. Based on human evaluations from professional annotators who compared model responses to instructions given in multiple languages, the Aya model is preferred 77% of the time on average.
