Engineer at Roche
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.

Enabled creation of innovative projects through developer-friendly features
The aspect I like most about PyTorch is that it is really developer-friendly. Developers can constantly create new things, and everyone around the world can use it for free because it's an open-source product. What I personally like is that PyTorch has enabled users to use Apple's M1 chip natively for GPU users. Unlike other libraries using CUDA, PyTorch utilizes Metal Performance Shaders (MPS) to enable GPU usage on M1 chips.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Cohere helped us with all three aspects: money is saved, time is saved, and we needed fewer resources to meet our end goals."
"We use PyTorch libraries, which are working well. It's very easy."
"It's been pretty scalable in terms of using multiple GPUs."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It’s reliable, secure and user-friendly. It allows you to develop any AIML project efficiently. PySearch is the best option for developing any project in the AIML domain. The product is easy to install."
"PyTorch is developer-friendly, allowing developers to continuously create new projects."
"I like that PyTorch actually follows the pythonic way, and I feel that it's quite easy. It's easy to find compared to others who require us to type a long paragraph of code."
"Its interface is the most valuable. The ability to have an interface to train machine learning models and construct them with the high-level interface, without excess busting and reconstructing the same technical elements, is very useful."
"PyTorch allows me to build my projects from scratch."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The documentation and support could be improved, as there is limited documentation available on the web."
"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."
"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."
"When performing similarity matching between text descriptions and the catalog descriptions created using Cohere, the matching could be improved."
"The training of the models could be faster."
"PyTorch needs improvement in working on ARM-based chips. They have unified memory for GPU and RAM, however, current GPUs used for processing are slow."
"The product has breakdowns when we change the versions a lot."
"The analyzing and latency of compiling could be improved to provide enhanced results."
"I've had issues with stability when I use a lot of data and try out different combinations of modeling techniques."
"On the production side of things, having more frameworks would be helpful."
"I do not have any complaints."
"The product has certain shortcomings in the automation of machine learning."
