Cohere is a Toronto-based AI company building enterprise-focused language models. The company positions Command and Command R+ as production-grade alternatives to OpenAI and Anthropic for retrieval-augmented and tool-using workloads, and ships Embed and Rerank models that power production RAG systems.

Why this matters in 2026

Cohere's August 2024 release of the Aya 23 multilingual model (covering 23 languages with open weights) is the largest open-weight multilingual release to date and the reference point for LATAM-language AI engineering work. The Oracle, Salesforce, and Notion enterprise partnerships establish Cohere's commercial moat against the OpenAI / Anthropic axis.
