# Ampersand

Ampersand, a language model from Humans&, is now available free on AI Gateway through November 13, 2026. It is built for multi-person conversations such as team chats, deciding on each turn whether to speak or stay quiet, and is designed to understand individual and shared goals and help people work through disagreements. An application exposes speaking and silence as two caller-defined tools, send_message and pass, which the application executes and records; the model accepts auto and none tool choices but rejects required and named ones.
