We're celebrating 8 lead anniversaries this month 🤩
We’re lucky to have people who don’t just volunteer their time, but jump in and help shape the direction of our community in meaningful ways.
🌏 @KanwalMehreen2 joined us last year and quickly helped make ML Summer a huge success, bringing energy and support to one of our biggest programs.
🤖 Jebish Purbey and @_1024_m came together to launch our ML Agents program and have since become incredibly important members of the community. Their impact has extended beyond the program itself, with their work in ML Agents and our Expedition programs even being highlighted in our blog earlier this year.
💼 @arya_suneesh and @PrahithaM teamed up to build our ML Industry program, which has become an increasingly popular space for learning and discussion. Arya S. actively leads a paper reading group, while Prahitha Movva is running a book series helping community members grow and learn together.
🐥 And finally, @VivekS100, Anu Adesina, and Muhammad Rafi Sudrajat jumped headfirst into one of our legacy programs and helped take it to new heights. Together, they launched an ongoing sprint covering computer vision, NLP, and reinforcement learning, hosting 24+ sessions since getting started.
Huge thanks to these leads for their the energy, dedication and leadership to the Cohere Labs open science community!

🚀 Our community-led ML Agents group is kicking off a new collaborative project to build a Street Navigation Agent for more inclusive, region-aware local search. In many parts of the world, businesses exist physically — but not digitally.
They're exploring how AI can use tools like Google Street View to read storefront signs, apply distance & category constraints, and reason step-by-step to identify real-world services.
We’re also building a global benchmark across countries and languages to evaluate visual verification.

Cohere Labs x ICLR 2026: Kaleidoscope
A multilingual multimodal benchmark with exam-style questions written directly in 18 languages (not translated from English).
Kaleidoscope has been accepted at ICLR 🔥. This is the first of its kind massive multimodal multilingual benchmark. Configurations to everyone @Cohere_Labs 🎊
Congrats to everyone involved in Kaleidoscope, a cross-institutional collaboration accepted to ICLR 2026 🔥
A special shoutout to @mziizm who championed this collaboration from day 1. It is the first accepted paper for many of the collaborators who are first time authors.

🔮 Can a world model (simulator) give today’s AI agents foresight? We tested “world model as a tool”… and found it often doesn’t help—sometimes it hurts.

Very excited to see that Global PIQA is already being used to evaluate multilingual capabilities in new models!
Our first release is Gemini 3 Pro, which is rolling out globally starting today.
It significantly outperforms 2.5 Pro across the board:
🥇 Tops LMArena and WebDev @arena leaderboards
🧠 PhD-level reasoning on Humanity’s Last Exam
📋 Leads long-horizon planning on Vending-Bench 2

Introducing Global PIQA, a new multilingual benchmark for 100+ languages. This benchmark is the outcome of this year’s MRL shared task, in collaboration with 300+ researchers from 65 countries. This dataset evaluates physical commonsense reasoning in culturally relevant contexts.

What would it take for AI evaluations to truly support our global experiences? 🌍
Our cross-institutional paper introduces INCLUDE, a multilingual LLM evaluation benchmark of local exams capturing in-language nuances & cultural context for truly localized AI evaluation.
