Enterprise language models for generation, embeddings and reranking
Cohere is an enterprise-focused model provider whose API centres on language tasks rather than a consumer chat app. Command models handle generation and chat, Embed turns text into vectors for search, and Rerank reorders retrieved passages, which is often the cheapest quality win in a retrieval pipeline. Multilingual handling is a genuine strength, and fine-tuning covers classification and generation on private data. The company also sells private deployments inside a customer's own cloud or on-premise environment, which is why it appears in regulated industries more often than in hobby projects.

It reorders search results by relevance after retrieval, which usually improves the passages an assistant sees without changing your vector database. In many retrieval projects it is the cheapest quality gain available before moving to a larger model.
Yes. Beyond the public API, Cohere offers deployments inside a customer's own cloud or on-premise environment, which is the main reason regulated companies choose it. Those arrangements are sold through a sales conversation.
The company has published open research models, but its commercial line-up is served through the API. If you need to self-host frontier-quality chat weights, compare against providers that release them openly.
