@CohereLabs just released 🌿 Tiny Aya: a fully open-source 3B parameter model that speaks 70+ languages 🌍! But there’s a catch:

Tiny Aya is just a language model. It doesn’t support tool calling, the key capability that turns frontier models into powerful *agents*.
So the real question is:

How hard is it to turn Tiny Aya into an agent?

Turns out… it’s simple, thanks to Hugging Face TRL.
We’re sharing a hands-on example showing how to train Tiny Aya to turn it into a tool-calling agent using TRL, unlocking what could become the first *massively multilingual open agent*.

Small model. Global reach. Agent capabilities.

Thanks for sharing, we are using a similar recipe for our small models 👏
