What is Cohere?
Cohere's core product is a family of language, embedding and rerank models accessed via API, aimed primarily at enterprise and regulated-industry customers; models can be consumed via Cohere's own API or through cloud marketplaces (AWS, Azure, Oracle) for enterprises that need procurement or data to stay within an existing cloud account. Cohere also sells North, an AI workplace/agent platform, and Compass, an enterprise search product, as separate offerings.

CohereAI Platforms & Generative AIEnterprise language models via API, plus North and Compass
Key capabilities
- Trial API keys: Free but rate-limited, not for production use.
- Production API: Pay-as-you-go, billed per token/request once you move off a trial key.
- North & Compass: Separate contact-sales products for workplace AI and enterprise search.
A trial API key is free but capped and not licensed for production use, so cost and rate-limit testing should happen on a production key against your real request volume before committing.
