Cohere is exceptional in developing large language models and natural language processing services specifically designed for the enterprise segment. Located in Toronto, Canada, with R&D offices in Palo Alto and London, we provide access to powerful LLMs via API, targeting integration into company products, from customer support chatbots to sophisticated document analysis systems. Our Command and Embed family of multilingual models delivers cutting-edge capabilities for text generation, semantic embeddings, classification, and information extraction, all optimized for business applications rather than consumer use. 

In an environment where many enterprises are wary of sending sensitive data to public AI models, our solution addresses critical security and privacy concerns by enabling companies to deploy AI capabilities on their own infrastructure or through secure private cloud arrangements. We’ve doubled our valuation in just one year, joining the ranks of the world’s most valuable AI startups and representing Canada on the global AI stage. Our success proves that breakthrough AI innovation isn’t limited to Silicon Valley; Toronto’s deep AI research expertise, anchored by university programs and talent pools, can produce genuine unicorns. 

We’re democratizing access to enterprise-grade AI while maintaining the security, compliance, and customization requirements that large organizations demand, positioning ourselves at the forefront of the AI revolution, transforming how businesses operate.
