Cohere

Cohere builds AI models designed for enterprise use cases — text generation, semantic search, classification, and retrieval augmented generation (RAG). The platform is optimized for businesses that need to build AI features into their products rather than consumer chat applications. The Command model handles text generation, while Embed and Rerank models power search and retrieval systems. Cohere's RAG capabilities are considered best-in-class for enterprise knowledge retrieval, making it popular for building internal search systems and customer-facing knowledge bases. Cohere differentiates from OpenAI and Anthropic by focusing on enterprise deployment flexibility — models can run on any cloud provider, on-premises, or even on edge devices. This deployment flexibility, combined with strong data privacy commitments, appeals to regulated industries. The free tier is generous for development and testing.
