Today, we're releasing North Small Translate, a mixture-of-experts machine translation model with strong performance across 50+ languages. Across WMT26 benchmarks,¹ North Small Translate achieves an 83.6 score across all languages, outperforming proprietary models like DeepL and Google Translate, as well as open-weight alternatives such as Gemma 4 31B (off), GLM 5.2, and Mistral Large 3.
North Small Translate marks a significant milestone as Cohere's first translation model in the North model family. It builds on our multilingual and translation lineage — from the Tiny Aya model family to Command A Translate — and represents a clear next step in Cohere’s commitment to offering high-quality machine translation wherever it is needed.
