Cohere

Cohere is an enterprise artificial intelligence company founded in 2019 in Toronto, Canada, by Aidan Gomez, Nick Frosst and Ivan Zhang, building large language models that organizations can deploy securely on their own infrastructure instead of relying solely on public cloud APIs.

The platform centers on the Command family of generative language models, the Embed and Rerank models for search and retrieval, a document parsing module, and North, an agentic workspace for automating internal workflows. Models can run through Cohere’s API, in a private VPC, or fully on-premises, and are used by enterprises such as Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, RBC and Fujitsu across finance, technology and telecommunications.

1. Command models: high-performance generative language models supporting 49 languages for enterprise text generation.

4. Parse: structured extraction module for converting business documents into usable data.
