Cohere releases North Small Translate model, benchmarked on WMT26

Cohere has released a new translation model called North Small Translate, which was benchmarked using the WMT26 dataset. The company highlighted that the WMT26 benchmarks were released after the model's creation, preventing any form of training on the specific measurements. Further details about the model and its performance will be shared at the WMT 2026 conference in October. AI
