short_description: Multilingual Multimodal Model
---

we introduce Maya, an open-source Multimodal Multilingual model. 

1) a multilingual image-text pretraining dataset in eight languages, based on the LLaVA pretraining dataset;
2) a novel toxicity-free version across eight languages; and
3) a multilingual image-text 8B model supporting these languages, enhancing culture and linguistics.
