How Cohere Started And Found Product–Market Fit
- Aidan described Cohere's origin: building infrastructure to train large language models and pushing the tech trajectory forward.
- He recalled GPT-3 validating their direction and consumer dialogue models creating urgent enterprise demand.
Generality Trumps Purpose-Built Endpoints Today
- Cohere found customers value the models' generality more than narrowly prebuilt endpoints.
- Enterprises currently prefer a general AI platform that solves many problems rather than single-use APIs.
Agents Enable Higher-Value, Long-Horizon Work
- Aidan predicts agent-based, long-horizon systems will unlock much higher value than one-step transactions.
- He warns current per-step accuracy compounds across many steps, so robustness must improve dramatically for reliable agents.
