Cohere: AI Startup Making Waves in the Industry
In the fast-paced world of artificial intelligence, Cohere has emerged as a standout player, garnering attention with its impressive $5.5 billion valuation as of July. Founded by a key contributor to the groundbreaking “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which kickstarted the large language model (LLM) revolution, Cohere is making waves in the AI scene.
Partnerships and Deployments with Industry Giants
Operating out of Toronto and San Francisco, Cohere caters to enterprise clients with its AI solutions, steering clear of the viral consumer chatbot trend. While Anthropic recently made headlines for its collaboration with Palantir and AWS in supplying AI to defense clients, it has come to light that Palantir is also partnering with Cohere. In fact, Cohere’s AI models are already in use by undisclosed Palantir customers, as revealed in a video from Palantir’s DevCon1 conference in November 2024.
Technical Insights and Industry Speculations
During the conference, Cohere engineer Billy Trend shared insights on the technical aspects of their collaboration with Palantir. Although specific customer names were not disclosed, Trend mentioned a deployment involving strict data storage constraints and Arabic inference capabilities, highlighting Cohere’s expertise in these areas. It’s worth noting that Palantir’s Foundry platform, where Cohere’s AI models can be accessed, caters more to commercial clients, hinting at potential corporate users.
Expanding Horizons and Industry Speculations
While Cohere has acknowledged partnerships with tech giants like Fujitsu, details on its dealings with Palantir remain scarce. When queried about potential military or intelligence-related applications of its AI, Cohere chose not to comment. Similarly, Palantir remained tight-lipped on the matter. The landscape of AI in defense and intelligence is evolving, with players like OpenAI also venturing into the sector, as evidenced by its recent collaboration with Anduril.
As the AI industry continues to evolve, Cohere’s strategic partnerships and cutting-edge solutions position it as a key player in shaping the future of artificial intelligence.
