In Lisbon this week to speak at the Lisbon Machine Learning summer school. Just landed — and despite the heat had to get a bowl of caldo verde. Looking forward to catching up with friends old and new 🔥✨
Always Grateful to @Cohere_Labs community! I joined at ~500 members, from being a regular to leading Geo Regional Asia - hosting 75+ guest speakers, NYU Deep Learning cohort, ML Summer School (2000+ registrations). Thank you @Cohere_Labs @sarahookr for best learning experience!
Sometimes it is important to take a moment and celebrate -- we achieved all of this in 3 years. Pretty incredible impact from @Cohere_Labs 🔥
If someone gives you a call saying they are twitter support and trying to prevent another user transferring your account -- ask for proof they are indeed twitter support lol. Happened to me yesteday -- and was very suspicious.

Kind of wild. Aya has had 2.8 million model weight downloads on @huggingface alone since June of last year. 🌿🌍 The most popular model is our 8b Aya Expanse — part of our push for efficiency to make the weights more accessible.
