Cohere: Bringing General Purpose Language Models to Industry

Cohere, founded by Aiden Gomez, Nick Frost, and Ivan Zhang, aims to bring large language models (LLMs) to industries by offering access to their models through an API. LLMs have the potential to solve a variety of reading and writing tasks, such as summarization, content creation, and sentiment analysis. In the early days, the market was skeptical about the commercial applications of LLMs. However, with breakthroughs like GPT-3 and the emergence of dialogue models, consumers and businesses have experienced the value and desirability of using LLMs. Now, every board and C-suite is waking up to the immense potential and demand for LLM technology. Cohere positioned itself as a cloud-agnostic platform, providing enterprises with secure and customizable models that can be deployed on-premises or across multiple cloud providers. With marquee customers like LivePerson and Oracle, Cohere is focused on delivering value to customers by continuously improving their models and creating a delightful user experience.
