About Cohere
Cohere is widening from chat into a full enterprise model suite: code, audio, and retrieval.
Cohere is shipping across its whole model lineup: a new Command A+ flagship in May, the North-Mini-Code coding model in June, the Transcribe ASR model earlier in the spring, and Rerank/Embed v4 for retrieval. Alongside the launches, it has been aggressively retiring older Command, Embed, and Aya models plus legacy RAG endpoints. The portfolio is consolidating around the Command A family, embed-v4/rerank-v4, and now code and audio.
