Think of it like
The practical alternative: not flashy, but solid for boring-but-important tasks like classification and extraction.
Example
Cohere released Command (general-purpose), Summarize (abstractive summarization), and Classify (text categorization) models.
How it actually works
Cohere emphasizes accessibility (free tier, generous API), focuses on B2B rather than consumer, and partners with enterprises. Their models are good at specific tasks (search, classification) but less known for reasoning.
For product teams
Plays the enterprise/partnership game better than meme-driven startups; steady revenue.
For engineers
Good baseline for language tasks; simpler interfaces than some competitors.
