*** # Aya 23 35B - **Creator:** [CohereForAI](https://huggingface.co/CohereForAI/) - **Original:** [Aya 23 35B](https://huggingface.co/CohereForAI/aya-23-35B) - **Date Created:** 2024-05-19 - **Trained Context:** 8192 tokens - **Description:** Aya 23 is an open weights research release of an instruction fine-tuned model with highly advanced multilingual capabilities, serving 23 languages. It is available with 8 billion and 35 billion parameters; this is the 35 billion parameter version. *** ## What is a GGUF? GGUF is a large language model (LLM) format that can be split between CPU and GPU. GGUFs are compatible with applications based on llama.cpp, such as Backyard AI. Where other model formats require higher end GPUs with ample VRAM, GGUFs can be efficiently run on a wider variety of hardware. GGUF models are quantized to reduce resource usage, with a tradeoff of reduced coherence at lower quantizations. Quantization reduces the precision of the model weights by changing the number of bits used for each weight. ***
