Cohere
LLM providersAn enterprise-focused AI provider with strong models for retrieval, ranking, and generation.
Cohere builds models aimed at enterprise use, with particular strength in the retrieval stack — its embedding and rerank models are widely used to improve RAG quality regardless of which generation model sits downstream.
It emphasises private deployment options and data control, which suits regulated buyers.
Where it's ideally used
A fit when retrieval and ranking quality matter, or when an enterprise wants private deployment and strong data-control terms.
Where it doesn't fit
Less of a default for general chat than the best-known frontier labs — its edge is the retrieval-focused models.
