What changed

Cohere has released North Small Translate, an open-weight translation model designed to work across 50 languages. Cohere reports that it scored 83.6 in the company’s WMT26 evaluation, while using only part of its full capacity for each translation task.

What this means for you

People and organizations can use the model’s weights for free for non-commercial translation projects. Commercial users must access it through Cohere Model Vault or RWS Language Weaver, so business use is not freely available.
