Cohere
Cohere is the enterprise-focused AI company built around retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and sovereign AI deployment. Founded in 2019 by former Google Brain researchers, Cohere's Command R models are purpose-built for search, grounding, and citation workflows. On May 20, 2026 Cohere released Command A+, a 218B / 25B-active mixture-of-experts model under an Apache 2.0 license, runnable on as little as two H100 GPUs and Cohere's first multimodal reasoning model. If your primary use case is enterprise search, document Q&A with verifiable citations, sovereign deployment, or tool-augmented RAG pipelines, Cohere is the most specialized option available.
