We’re excited to launch Command R+, a state-of-the-art RAG-optimized large language model (LLM) designed to tackle enterprise-grade workloads. We’re also proud to announce a new collaboration with Microsoft Azure where our latest models will be available first starting today and on other cloud platforms in the coming weeks to help accelerate enterprise AI adoption. Command R+ joins our R-series of scalable LLMs focused on balancing high efficiency with unparalleled accuracy, enabling businesses to move beyond proof-of-concept, and into production with AI. Our latest model excels at key business-critical capabilities like advanced Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with citation to reduce hallucinations, multilingual coverage in 10 key languages to support global business operations, and Tool Use to automate sophisticated business processes. We achieve this while providing the same commitment to data privacy and security that we’re known for. Read more: https://lnkd.in/edwE3nTJ

Thank you to everyone attending the Toronto Agent Meetup hosted by AgentOps.ai! We saw Command R+ brought to life with impressive agent demos, offering a glimpse into the agentic future of software. Toronto, you've done it again!

Happy Pride! It’s the first week of Pride Month and National Indigenous History Month, and I am so excited to say that Cohere’s Pride Camp is back and better than ever! Cohere is thrilled to invite 2SLGBTQIA+ professionals and passionate allies in the tech space to join us again for an unforgettable experience. Mark your calendars for June 27 as we celebrate the intersections of queerness and AI in our Toronto offices. Cohere Pride Camp 2024 promises to be even bigger and brighter— this year, we’ll be exploring what it means to create space, belonging, and resilience for our queer selves in the ever-evolving world of AI/Tech. By bringing together queer voices and allies, we aim to empower, create visibility, and foster a sense of community within the tech space. For the queer community, this event is a testament to our strength and a celebration of our stories. Join us as we hear from our incredible keynote speaker Naoufel Testaouni, Co-founder and CEO of QueerTech, and learn from an empowering panel discussion led by Mil Reyes. We'll also enjoy fun activities, delicious refreshments and dinner, next-level entertainment, and the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals. We’ve got limited space so please register as soon as possible. And if you can’t make it in person, we will also be hosting a live-streamed version of the event here on LinkedIn so even more people can join the celebration! On a personal note, Pride Camp has been such a joy to design and lead this year, and I am also so grateful to our community partner QueerTech for their continued support of this proud initiative at Cohere. Learn more and register here: https://lnkd.in/etF9uHvn I can’t wait to see you there!

Secure your spot at Toronto Agent Meetup! Join us on June 4 and discover how to leverage Command R+ in agent development. We’re excited to partner with AgentOps.ai to bring together startup founders, developers, and enthusiasts to explore community demos and discuss an agentic future. Register now.

Becoming an expert takes years, but what if we could speed up this process for language models? In our latest newsletter, we dive into how fine-tuning Cohere Command R on the Cohere platform and Amazon SageMaker accelerates AI proficiency in specific tasks. Discover: - Cost and performance benefits of fine-tuning (15x savings!) - How it enhances RAG solutions (20% upside!) - Industries where fine-tuning delivers exceptional value (legal, finance, retail) Fine-tuning transforms a foundational model into a specialized solution, optimizing it for enterprise-grade workloads. Learn why Cohere’s fine-tuned models outperform larger, costlier alternatives. But don’t take our word for it, according to Erik Bergenholtz, VP of AI Strategy and Operations at Oracle, “Cohere’s fine-tuned models even outperform out-of-the-box versions of much larger and more expensive models.” Why settle for less when you can achieve more at a fraction of the cost? Read on for all the details in our latest newsletter.

Looking to elevate your Enterprise AI strategy? Discover why leading technologists are turning to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems for cutting-edge solutions. Enterprises face several challenges when building LLM solutions: hallucinations, rising compute costs, and the need for dynamic, real-time information. Enter RAG—an innovation that connects large language models with real-world data. According to the foundational paper by Cohere’s Patrick Lewis, RAG systems offer timely, encyclopedic knowledge combined with the language generation capabilities of LLMs. This means smarter, faster, and more accurate results that drive better decision-making for your business. Imagine workplace assistants that can: - Summarize internal reports swiftly - Analyze customer data for tailored recommendations - Extract actionable insights from dense market research documents These are just a few examples of how RAG-based solutions can modernize enterprise workflows and operations. Explore the top 5 reasons enterprises are choosing RAG systems. Read the full article by David Stewart and Maxime Voisin. https://lnkd.in/ekR-jQaN
