Scouting report
Was an intern when he became a co-author on Attention Is All You Need. Co-founded FOR.ai and then Cohere, building large language models for enterprises, and Cohere Labs has released open-weight multilingual models including the Aya family with a strong emphasis on languages the field usually ignores.
Curator’s note
Went from intern on the paper to running a lab built on it.
