How Reasoning Influences Intersectional Biases in Vision Language Models
Adit Desai, Sudipta Roy, Mohna Chakraborty
Vision Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed across downstream tasks, yet their training data often encode social biases that surface in outputs. Unlike humans, who inte…
Dual-Stage Value-Guided Inference with Margin-Based Reward Adjustment for Fast and Faithful VLM Captioning
Ankan Deria, Adinath Madhavrao Dukre, Feilong Tang +5
Despite significant advances in inference-time search for vision-language models (VLMs), existing approaches remain both computationally expensive and prone to unpenalized, low-con…
Aya Vision: Advancing the Frontier of Multilingual Multimodality
Saurabh Dash, Yiyang Nan, John Dang +22
Building multimodal language models is fundamentally challenging: it requires aligning vision and language modalities, curating high-quality instruction data, and avoiding the degr…
Command A: An Enterprise-Ready Large Language Model
Team Cohere, :, Aakanksha +227
In this report we describe the development of Command A, a powerful large language model purpose-built to excel at real-world enterprise use cases. Command A is an agent-optimised…
Multilingual Machine Translation with Open Large Language Models at Practical Scale: An Empirical Study
Menglong Cui, Pengzhi Gao, Wei Liu +2
Large language models (LLMs) have shown continuously improving multilingual capabilities, and even small-scale open-source models have demonstrated rapid performance enhancement. I…
Aya Expanse: Combining Research Breakthroughs for a New Multilingual Frontier
John Dang, Shivalika Singh, Daniel D'souza +42
We introduce the Aya Expanse model family, a new generation of 8B and 32B parameter multilingual language models, aiming to address the critical challenge of developing highly perf…
