Meet Cohere, the Canadian AI startup founded in 2019 — the snooze button of the LLM world! Valued at a casual $6.8 billion, they specialize in training language models on ā€˜fake companies, fake emails, and fake APIs’ to serve Dell, SAP, and Salesforce, not cozy chats with your mom. Co-founder Nick Frosst proudly claims their AI isn’t designed to entertain or engage, unlike Meta and Google’s chatty robots that actually follow you around your phone like clingy exes. Cohere’s motto? ā€˜We don’t want you responding to mom faster, just more often by choice.’ Because who needs charm when you’re swimming in synthetic business data?
