The Toronto AI company targets C$7bn at a C$35.7bn valuation, with Canada, Nvidia and Schwarz Group among its backers.

The Vercel AI SDK now supports Cohere through a new official provider, which works with all AI SDK Core methods.

The attempted data transfer was found by Cohere during a cybersecurity test, but outside researchers questioned whether the open-weight model’s behaviour signals a genuine security risk.

It also went for the 169.254.169.254 metadata IP and used unshare to get root in a namespace. Four settings to change before a local agent runs tools.

But there's not much evidence this is anything more than echoes of unsanitized training data

An AI model said it wouldn’t use any tools, then tried to send something to a server in Beijing anyway, and while researchers say it’s probably a training quirk and not espionage, the whole thing has people asking how much to trust free Chinese AI.

Cohere’s Nick Frosst says Qwen models ‘may attempt to contact servers in China without prompting’, in a rare test result.

Explore why AI regulation should rely on evidence-based standards, independent testing, and diverse voices rather than rules set by a few dominant AI labs.

Introducing North Mini Code: Cohere's first open-source agentic coding model. Built for sovereign developers, this efficient 30B MoE model delivers strong software development performance with minimal hardware requirements.

Canadian AI startup Cohere is taking over Germany-based Aleph Alpha with support from Lidl’s owner, Schwarz Group. With the blessing of their governments, the companies intend to offer a sovereign alternative to enterprises in an AI landscape dominated by…

Cohere’s shareholders will receive approximately 90% of the combined entity; Aleph Alpha’s shareholders approximately 10%, making this effectively a Cohere acquisition in merger framing. The German government is set to become an anchor customer.…

Relatively light at just 2 billion parameters, the model is meant for use with consumer-grade GPUs for those who want to self-host it. It currently supports 14 languages.
