Model Card for Aya-Expanse-32B

Aya Expanse 32B 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 Labs, including data arbitrage, multilingual preference training, safety tuning, and model merging. The result is a powerful multilingual large language model serving 23 languages.

This model card corresponds to the 32-billion version of the Aya Expanse model. We also released an 8-billion version which you can find here.

How to Use Aya Expanse

Install the transformers library and load Aya Expanse 32B as follows:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_id = "CohereLabs/aya-expanse-32b"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

# Format 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 32B against Gemma 2 27B, Llama 3.1 70B, Mixtral 8x22B, and Qwen 2.5 32B 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. 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.
