Tiny Aya Base is a 3.35B-parameter multilingual language model designed for efficient deployment and broad language coverage. It uses a 36-layer transformer with 2,048 hidden size, 16 attention heads, and grouped KV heads (4 KV heads). The architecture alternates sliding window attention (4,096 window) with periodic global attention layers for full-sequence interaction. It supports around 8K context in practice and uses RoPE for positional encoding. Trained across 70+ languages, it is optimized for balanced multilingual performance, downstream adaptation, and low-resource environments.
Model specifications and capabilities are published by the model author and reproduced here from HF Model Card (CohereLabs/tiny-aya-base). Released under CC-BY-NC-4.0. Further reading: Paper · Blog
