Cohere is possibly the largest frontier AI lab you haven’t heard of. Why is that? We are the only foundational model builder in the world solely focused on AI for enterprise. We don’t have a public-facing chatbot that people can use to generate memes or write poetry (sorry). We innovated very early in the concept of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), which was actually coined by one of our leaders, Patrick Lewis. RAG is the fundamental cornerstone of unlocking enterprise value with AI, as it enables LLMs to generate informed responses based on your proprietary data. When you can’t perform RAG over your internal data, you essentially rely on AI applications to either perform RAG-over-the-internet or risk hallucinating. We focus entirely on delivering ROI for our enterprise partners who understand that artificial intelligence poses the single largest transformation opportunity in a generation. ROI-focused, deep enterprise partnerships take work, which is why we employ the Forward Deployed Engineering approach, embedding our engineers inside your teams. We do the difficult task of making AI actually work inside your environment, and we put your organisation in full control of all your data, with fully private deployments of our models and solutions. We don’t deal in hyperbole; we deliver results.
