Enterprise LLM family (Command, Embed, Rerank) sold API-first with VPC, on-prem and dedicated hosting options
Cohere builds enterprise language models — Command for generation and agents, Embed and Rerank for retrieval, Transcribe for speech — and sells them API-first with an emphasis on private deployment: VPC, on-premises, or its managed Model Vault from $2,500 a month per dedicated instance. The North workspace and Compass search products are quote-based. API access is pay-as-you-go per token (legacy Command R+ lists at $2.50 in and $10 out per million tokens), while free trial keys are rate-limited and non-commercial. It suits regulated enterprises more than hobbyists.
Free trial API keys are rate-limited and non-commercial; production keys are pay-as-you-go per token (e.g. legacy Command $1/$2, Command R+ 08-2024 $2.50/$10 per 1M in/out) with Rerank priced per search. Dedicated Model Vault instances start around $2,500/month ($4/hour); North and Compass are contact-sales.
Use tool ↗Cohere is the pragmatic choice when retrieval quality and data sovereignty drive the decision — Embed and Rerank remain reference points, and few rivals match its VPC and on-prem menu. The catch is that its generative models trail the frontier labs on raw capability, and the newest platform products push you into sales conversations rather than self-serve.
Watch out: The pricing page still headlines legacy Command models; confirm current-generation model pricing and availability with the docs before committing.
