About Cohere
Cohere is an enterprise AI platform built around one rule: customer data must never leave its own infrastructure. Its Command family of generative models, Embed retrieval models and Rerank rerankers combine into a grounded RAG pipeline that can run inside a customer's VPC, on-premises or through AWS, Azure and Oracle - satisfying the residency rules banks, healthcare and government buyers require. The flagship Command A+, released open-weight in May 2026, targets agentic, multilingual and tool-use work across dozens of languages with a 256K context window, while North, its secure agentic workplace, automates HR, finance and IT workflows on top of the same models. Cohere reached roughly $240M ARR by early 2026 with over 1,000 enterprise customers including Oracle, RBC and Fujitsu, and its pay-as-you-go API starts near $0.04 per million tokens, making it the pragmatic pick for regulated teams that OpenAI and Anthropic cannot serve.
