# Aya Vision 8B

> Cohere Labs' first model that could see, and it answered about what it saw in twenty-three languages. It shipped with its own evaluation set, because the multilingual multimodal benchmark it needed did not yet exist. It and the Aya text model of the same size were retired together, in a single line on a deprecation page.
