@CohereLabs just released ๐ฟ Tiny Aya: a fully open-source 3B parameter model that speaks 70+ languages ๐! But thereโs a catch:
Tiny Aya is just a language model. It doesnโt 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 outโฆ itโs simple, thanks to Hugging Face TRL.
Weโre 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.

๐ก Alternatively, you can also set the
hf-mem v0.4.1 now also estimates KV cache memory requirements for any context length and batch size with the --experimental flag!uvx hf-mem --model-id ... --experimental will automatically pull the required information from the Hugging Face Hub to include the KV cache estimation, when applicable.๐ก Alternatively, you can also set the
--max-model-len, --batch-size and --kv-cache-dtype arguments (ร la vLLM) manually if preferred. -

After training ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐ on ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ for nearly a month, I've come to realize something most people overlook: ๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐-๐จ๐ซ-๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ . ๐ฅ
Everyone talks about model architecture and data quality. And yes, those matter immensely. But here's what nobody tells you: when your training run fails at 2 AM because of mysterious ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ, or when your expensive GPU cluster is running at ๐๐% ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ฒ, the problem isn't your model. It's most probably a ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐. ๐ ๏ธ
Questions that seemed simple but had no clear answers: Why is ๐๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฌ? Which ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฌ should we actually set? How often should we checkpoint without killing throughput?
That's why we built ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐: a complete guide covering everything from model architecture and data curation to the SmolLM3 training marathon, post-training techniques, and crucially, the ๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ that most teams get wrong.
We validated real vs theoretical bandwidth across the entire stack: ๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐/๐ฌ, ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐.๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐/๐ฌ, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐.๐ ๐๐/๐ฌ. Then we ran collective operations across ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฌ (16 nodes, 8xH100s each) and measured how performance degrades at scale: all-reduce drops from ๐๐๐ ๐๐/๐ฌ on a single node to ๐๐๐-๐๐๐ ๐๐/๐ฌ across 16 nodes.
If you've ever wondered why your training runs are slower than they should be, or you're planning to scale up and want to avoid expensive mistakes, this guide might save you weeks of debugging.

Finally, our new paper is out! "๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: ๐ข๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ ๐๐น๐น ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ"! ๐ฅณ
FineVision: Open Data Is All You Need (2510.17269)
If you've ever trained a VLM, you know this problem: nobody shares their data mixtures. It's a black box, making replicating SOTA work impossible.
We wanted to change that.
FineVision unifies 200 sources into 24 million samples. With 17.3 million images and 9.5 billion answer tokens, it's the largest open resource of its kind.
In the paper, we share how we built it:
๐ finding and cleaning data at scale
๐งน removing excessive duplicates across sources
๐ค decontaminating against 66 public benchmarks
My favorite part is Figure 6 (in the video!). It's our visual diversity analysis. It shows that FineVision isn't just bigger; it's more balanced and conceptually richer than other open datasets.
NVIDIA's Eagle 2 paper highlighted just how critical this visual diversity is, and our results confirm it: models trained on FineVision consistently outperform those trained on any other open dataset on 11 benchmarks!
๐ To celebrate the paper, Iโm also releasing a concatenated and shuffled version of the full dataset! ๐
Itโs ready to stream, so you can start training your own models right away:
from datasets import load_dataset
d = load_dataset("HuggingFaceM4/FineVision_full_shuffled", split="train", streaming=True)
print(next(iter(d)))
A big shoutout to the first authors: Luis Wiedmann and Orr Zohar. They are rockstars!
