Cohere - Enterprise AI Platform for RAG & Semantic Search

Cohere offre modelli di IA per le aziende, API, ricerca, elaborazione dei documenti e prodotti per l’ambiente di lavoro basati su agenti.

In inglese

Cohere builds AI products for enterprises, developers, and public-sector organizations. Its offerings include language and translation models, semantic search, reranking, embeddings, document parsing, transcription, and agentic workflows.

Users can access models through Cohere’s cloud API, private deployments, or managed Model Vault infrastructure. Trial API keys are free but rate-limited; production API usage and enterprise products cost extra.
