The company also highlights customer applications, developer documentation and communities, research through Cohere Labs, multilingual Aya models, open-science initiatives, grants, educational resources, and recent announcements including North 2, Embed 5, and a sovereign AI agreement with Aleph Alpha.

PwC and Cohere have formed an alliance combining Cohere’s secure agentic AI platform, enterprise models, and search capabilities with PwC’s expertise in industry transformation, technology, risk, and regulation. The collaboration aims to help organizations identify valuable AI applications, securely connect AI systems to trusted enterprise data, and implement governance controls for responsible large-scale deployment. Clients can use AI for enterprise search, knowledge access, research, decision support, and task automation while choosing private cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped deployment environments to retain control over sensitive data and infrastructure.

Cohere’s North 2 is presented as a full-stack enterprise agentic AI platform designed to balance intelligence, security, governance, and cost for regulated and high-stakes industries. It adds reusable agent skills, shared libraries, persistent memory, natural-language application creation, workflow automations, and connectors to enterprise tools and planned financial-data providers, supported by an orchestration system for multi-step processes with human oversight where needed. North 2 can be deployed self-hosted, in a VPC, hybrid environment, on premises, or air-gapped, while offering certifications, guardrails, autonomy policies, continuous security testing, and operational monitoring to protect sensitive information. Its North Admin capabilities provide role-based permissions, model controls, real-time analytics, token-spending limits, and detailed usage visibility, while its model-agnostic approach and NVIDIA hardware collaboration aim to improve inference efficiency. Cohere cites deployments and partnerships with organizations including LG CNS and Bell Cyber as evidence of North’s ability to support secure, scalable AI adoption.
