Cohere releases Tiny Aya L2-Thinker (3.35B) that reasons in users' languages

Cohere introduced Tiny Aya L2-Thinker, a 3.35B multilingual reasoning model (built on the Tiny Aya 32K-context base) that produces reasoning traces in the prompt language over 93% of the time across 60 languages. Cohere says the model achieves this L2 (in-language) reasoning via a data-mixing training strategy, preserves near-English accuracy across varied tasks, and the team is releasing the model weights and multilingual reasoning data.

Cohere's Tiny Aya expedition yields multilingual community projects and COLM 2026 paper

Cohere Labs' open-weight multilingual model Tiny Aya was distributed through 'Expedition Tiny Aya', producing community research and prototypes across education, multilingual safety, on-device deployment, and language understanding. Projects include a Math Edition, an offline multilingual Kids Companion, and safety analyses of code-mixed prompts; related research from the initiative was accepted to COLM 2026.

Cohere argues smaller, task‑optimized language models can outperform at lower cost

Cohere published a post promoting small language models (SLMs) for enterprise use, arguing they cut compute, data and energy needs while enabling local deployment and lower costs. The post highlights Cohere models — Command R7B, the Tiny Aya family (3.35B) and North Mini Code (30B MoE with 3B active) — and cites benchmark claims that North Mini Code and Tiny Aya outperform several larger competitors on coding and multilingual translation benchmarks respectively.
