Introducing Cohere's first open-source coding model: North Mini Code

Small & efficient, designed for agentic performance and built for community input.

[Julian Mack @Julianfmack]

Happy to share what I've been working on recently: today we release Cohere Transcribe, a state-of-the-art speech recognition model that beats both commercial and open-source models to land at #1 on the Open ASR Leaderboard!

[Pierre Richemond 🇪🇺 @TheOneKloud]

Excited and proud to introduce our latest: Cohere Transcribe, the best dedicated ASR model in the world. #1 EN HF leaderboard, SotA human evals, ahead of ElevenLabs, Qwen3, Mistral, Kyutai, and OpenAI. 14 supported languages. Apache 2.0, on HF for you to try.
Our first audio model and a key step in powering North experiences. https://t.co/HkA8XaGfra

I thought the path to variable-length video was frame-wise autoregressive with complex forcing schedules, but I was wrong!

The solution is simple! Flowception, using frame insertions to model any-order video generation.✅

Great collaboration with Jakob, @inthebrownbag, and @RickyTQChen on this work, and led by Tariq!

Say hello to DINOv3 🦖🦖🦖

A major release that raises the bar of self-supervised vision foundation models.
With stunning high-resolution dense features, it’s a game-changer for vision tasks!

We scaled model size and training data, but here's what makes it special 👇

[Samuel Lavoie @lavoiems]

The code and model weights for this paper are finally open! Despite being a little late for releasing them, I hope you will find them useful!

@bose_joey @imperialcollege @ICComputing Congrats Joey!!

[Pietro Astolfi @Piovrasca]

@TimDarcet Congrats!!!

[Pietro Astolfi @Piovrasca]

@YuliaRubanova Impressive! Congrats

Deliberate practice is accepted to #ICML2025 as a spotlight (top 2.6%!) 🚀

[Oscar Mañas @oscmansan]

It's interesting to see how, in order to increase prompt-image consistency, it had to decrease image quality/realism

[Reyhane Askari @ReyhaneAskari]

🚀 New Paper Alert!

Can we generate informative synthetic data that truly helps a downstream learner?

Introducing Deliberate Practice for Synthetic Data (DP)—a dynamic framework that focuses on where the model struggles most to generate useful synthetic training examples.

🔥 On ImageNet-1k, DP reduces dataset size by 55 million examples while outperforming prior synthetic benchmarks!
