CONVERGENCE, in review:
We launched AI for Empowerment at Berlin Art Week with one goal: spark the conversation around how technology should empower you to live the life you desire.

From the track to the ALL-IN stage, we’re proud to showcase our Aston Martin Aramco F1 show car at Canada’s largest AI and tech event, with a visit from the Cohere ambassador and chess grandmaster himself Magnus Carlsen.
Your data is already encrypted at rest and in transit. But what about in use?
Introducing Confidential Computing in Model Vault: where nothing and no one can access your workloads (yes, not even us).
Cohere and Aleph Alpha announce the signing of a definitive agreement, becoming the first foundational AI model developer anchored on both sides of the Atlantic 🇨🇦🇩🇪
Operating globally as Cohere, the unified company will grow to more than 1,000 employees across both continents.
The cartel is now pushing for antitrust exemptions under the banner of AI safety.
That’s not how you build a resilient global AI ecosystem.

"I think the existential risk debate veers too far into science fiction … this idea of AI taking over in ‘Terminator’-like scenarios, I don't think should enter the public conversation."
Cohere CEO @aidangomez live on @BloombergTV
The idea that two or three Silicon Valley companies should act as the creator, gatekeeper, and rulemaker of AI for every government on earth doesn't survive being said out loud.
Who Gets to Define the Rules for AI?
Artificial intelligence needs evidenced standards, not a cartel. A perspective from @aidangomez, co-founder & CEO of Cohere:
We were founded on advancements in translation. We couldn’t be prouder to continue that legacy. Find the weights on Hugging Face (available in several quants) under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license.
On the WMT benchmark (averaged across all languages), North Small Translate achieves an 83.6 score, outperforming models such as DeepL and Google Translate as well as open options, including GLM 5.2 and Mistral Large 3.
Originally, the Transformer paper was proposed to improve Google Translate. 9 years later, as the AI industry is built on top of its architecture, we've never stopped thinking about translation.
