Getting started
Platform Overview
Cohere's AI platform is centered around its advanced large language models (LLMs), including families like Command, Rerank, and Embed. These models enable enterprises to develop applications that harness generative AI for text generation, summarization, and semantic search. A standout feature is the platform's Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capability, which enhances response accuracy by integrating external data sources. This allows businesses to dynamically access relevant information, improving the contextual relevance of generated outputs without model retraining. The platform also supports fine-tuning, enabling organizations to customize models with their proprietary datasets for improved performance in specific use cases.
