Cohere

Introduction to Cohere

Cohere platform serves large language models (LLM) as a fully-managed service. Since these LLMs are accessible via an API, users do not need to handle the complexities of deploying, operating, and scaling LLM infrastructure.

The Cohere platform provides two types of models:

1. Generative models: They generate text in response to a text input (or prompt). This is useful for question answering, copywriting, text summarization, and similar use cases.

2. Representative models: They take text input and generate an embedding, which is a numerical value that captures its contextual meaning. This is useful for semantic search, text classification, topic modeling, and similar use cases.
