Cohere

Cohere develops large language models and natural language processing tools for enterprise applications. The company was founded in 2019 by Aidan Gomez, Ivan Zhang, and Nick Frosst in Toronto, Canada. Gomez previously co-authored the foundational "Attention Is All You Need" paper while at Google Brain.

Cohere provides API access to its language models through its platform, enabling developers to integrate natural language capabilities into applications. The company offers models for text generation, classification, semantic search, and summarization. Cohere's enterprise customers use its technology for customer service automation, content generation, and document analysis across industries including financial services and technology.

The company raised $125 million in Series B funding in February 2022, followed by a $270 million Series C round in June 2023 led by Inovia Capital. Cohere has established partnerships with cloud providers including Oracle and has expanded its operations internationally while maintaining its headquarters in Toronto.
