The Balance Between Open Source and Closed Source

It's no secret that the biggest hype in tech is around AI and large language models (LLMs).

Cohere⁠, founded in 2019, builds general purpose language models and provides access to them through an API. Its goal is to help enterprise leverage the power of LLMs to complete a range of useful tasks. With Cohere, companies can bring natural language processing to their applications without spending big on training models or hiring.

Aidan Gomez, co-founder and CEO of Cohere, was credited as a co-author on the influential paper ⁠‘Attention is All You Need’⁠, which established the transformer architecture that drives the world’s most powerful LLMs.

For our first episode, Aidan joined Contrary Research Radio to talk about Cohere, its place in the AI landscape, and his predictions for the future of LLM development.
