Discover the Aya Movement

Fundamental research lab

We work at the frontier of AI progress with the goal of solving cutting edge scientific problems. We see contributions to traditional conferences and publications in journals as an important part of our work, but also support efforts that go “beyond the research paper” and encourage scientific communication through different mediums. We drive the creation of new research spaces and breakthroughs that changes where, how and by whom research is done. We believe that technology is powerful, and empowering different perspectives ensures responsible innovation.

Open Science Initiative

We’re not just another research group. We are a hybrid lab with both a dedicated research staff and support for open science initiatives. We collaborate openly with independent researchers all over the world to conduct top-tier ML research.


Our open science research community is a space where researchers, engineers, linguists, social scientists, and lifelong learners connect and collaborate with each other. We come together from over 100 countries around the world and support large and small scale research collaborations.

EAGER: Entropy-Aware Generation for Adaptive Inference-Time Scaling

EAGer, a training-free method, reduces computation and improves performance by branching to multiple reasoning paths only when high-entropy tokens are present, reallocating compute budget to instances needing exploration, achieving up to 65% fewer tokens and 37% improvement in Pass@k.

Making, not Taking, the Best of N

Fusion-of-N (FusioN) is a new method that uses a general LLM judge to synthesize the most informative elements of each sample into a single final answer. It consistently outperforms Best-of-N (BoN) across 11 languages, 3 diverse tasks and varying model scales.

Verification Limits Code LLM Training

Synthetic data generation for code models faces a "verification ceiling" due to verifier limitations. Richer test suites, relaxed pass thresholds, and diverse solutions improve performance. Calibrated verification with challenging problem-solution pairs can overcome this ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s Cohere Labs' origin story?
    • In 2017, a team of friends, classmates, and engineers started a distributed research collaboration, with a focus on creating a medium for early-career AI enthusiasts to engage with experienced researchers – they called it “for.ai.” Two of those co-founding members, Aidan Gomez and Ivan Zhang, later went on to co-found Cohere, and many of the original members went on to do exciting things (pursuing PhDs, working at industry and academic labs).


      At the time, For AI was one of the first community-driven research groups to support independent researchers around the world. In June 2022, For AI was brought back as "Cohere For AI" when we started our journey as a dedicated research lab and community for exploring the unknown, together. We renamed to Cohere Labs in April 2025.

      Watch the Cohere Labs history video here.

  • Do you charge for your educational programs or community membership?
