Cohere

Cohere operates a B2B enterprise AI model and platform business. It creates proprietary foundation models and embedding systems, exposes them through APIs and managed platform access, and then captures higher-value revenue from enterprise contracts that require guaranteed performance, private environments, compliance controls, and tailored deployment configurations. Value is created by reducing the cost and complexity of adopting generative AI inside business workflows while addressing security and infrastructure concerns that matter to large organisations.

Cohere is a Canadian enterprise AI company that develops and commercialises large language models, embedding models, and related enterprise deployment infrastructure. Its platform enables organisations and developers to build AI-powered applications through APIs and managed environments, with particular emphasis on security, private deployment, data sovereignty, and enterprise integration rather than consumer-facing chat products.

The company makes money through usage-based API access, enterprise software licensing, and custom contracts for dedicated or private deployments. Its customers are primarily enterprises, developers, and regulated organisations that need AI models and application layers for internal knowledge work, retrieval, automation, and domain-specific workflows.
