Cohere

cohere-ai

A Canadian AI company that makes language models for businesses.

Worth knowing: one of its founders, Aidan Gomez, co-wrote “Attention Is All You Need” (2017), the paper by a team at Google that introduced the transformer. It became the cornerstone of today's large language models: the “T” in GPT (as in ChatGPT and GPT-3.5) stands for transformer, and Claude, Gemini and Llama are built on it too.

Why? Writing and pictures are the raw material for training AI models, and AI search and assistants fetch pages to answer people’s questions. The answer is given inside the chat, so the person asking often never comes to the site itself.
