Fast inference has enabled ultra-low-latency coding agents and continues to improve
I use the product for the fastest LLM inference for LLama 3.1 70B and GLM 4.6 We use it to speed up our coding agent on specific tasks. For anything that is latency-sensitive, having a fast model helps. The valuable features of the product are its inference speed and latency. There is room for…

Have improved project workflows using faster response times and reduced data embedding costs
One thing that Cohere can improve is related to some distances when I am trying similarity search. Let's suppose I have provided textual data that has been embedded. I have to use some extra process from numpy after embedding the model. In the case of OpenAI embedding models, I do not have to use that extra process, and they provide lower distances compared to my results from Cohere. I was getting distances of approximately 0.005 sometimes, but in the case of Cohere, I was getting distances around 0.5 or sometimes more than that. I think that can be improved. It was possibly because of some configuration or the way I was using it, but I am not exactly sure about that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The throughput increase has extended decision-making time by over 50 times compared to previous pipelines when accounting for burst parallelism."
"Cerebras' token speed rates are unmatched, which can enable us to provide much faster customer experiences."
"I recommend using it for speed and having a good fallback plan in case there are issues, but that's easy to do."
"Cohere has positively impacted my organization by helping our customers work more efficiently when creating requests, and the embedding results are of very high quality."
"The best feature Cohere offers is the Reranking model."
"When it creates a new test, it creates it almost 70 to 80% correctly without errors; the time savings are significant—what previously took one or two days can now be completed in two to three hours maximum."
"Cohere positively impacted my organization by improving the performance of my RAG system."
"The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team. They're really available on Discord, and they answer all of your questions."
"Speed has helped me in my day-to-day work, and I really notice the difference because it responds very quickly to LLM requests."
"A key advantage of integrating Cohere’s reranking model is that it aligns with client requests to include a reranking module — a widely recognized method for improving RAG quality. Additionally, the API demonstrates strong performance in terms of response speed."
"Cohere's Embed English v3.0 is a cloud-hosted model that took less time to embed the textual data and was more than 50 to 60% faster than other models, even somewhat faster than text-embedding-3 from OpenAI, helping to reduce development and embedding times."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the integration within AWS Bedrock."
"There is room for improvement in supporting more models and the ability to provide our own models on the chips as well."
"The documentation and support could be improved, as there is limited documentation available on the web."
"Cohere could improve in areas where the command model is not as creative as some larger LLMs available in the market, which is expected but noticeable in open-ended generative tasks."
"I believe Cohere can be improved technically by providing more feedback, logs, and metrics for embedding requests, as it currently appears to be a black box without any understanding of quality."
"When performing similarity matching between text descriptions and the catalog descriptions created using Cohere, the matching could be improved."
"It's challenging for us to make a conclusion about quality enhancement by using reranking models, as solid evaluation methodology for reranking is still immature."
"Cohere has text generation. I think it is mainly focused on AI search. If there was a way to combine the searches with images, I think it would be nice to include that."
"One thing that Cohere can improve is related to some distances when I am trying similarity search."
