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

"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."
"Cohere positively impacted my organization by improving the performance of my RAG system."
"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 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."
"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."
"I assess the value of Cohere's API support in my business operations as easy to integrate."
"The best feature Cohere offers is the Reranking model."
"I like PyTorch's scalability."
"I like that PyTorch actually follows the pythonic way, and I feel that it's quite easy."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"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 is developer-friendly, allowing developers to continuously create new projects."
"It's been pretty scalable in terms of using multiple GPUs."
"For me, the product's initial setup phase is easy...For beginners, it is fairly easy to learn."
"The tool is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"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 have not observed any measurable benefits or return on investment with Cohere."
"One thing that Cohere can improve is related to some distances when I am trying similarity search."
"Cohere can be improved by having more integrations beyond its current offerings with Amazon."
"When performing similarity matching between text descriptions and the catalog descriptions created using Cohere, the matching could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better learning documents."
"I do not have any complaints."
"I would like a model to be available. I think Google recently released a new version of EfficientNet. It's a really good classifier, and a PyTorch implementation would be nice."
"PyTorch could make certain things more obvious. Even though it does make things like defining loss functions and calculating gradients in backward propagation clear, these concepts may confuse beginners. We find that it's kind of problematic. Despite having methods called on loss functions during backward passes, the oral documentation for beginners is quite complex."
"There is not enough documentation about some methods and parameters. It is sometimes difficult to find information."
"The product has breakdowns when we change the versions a lot."
"I would like a model to be available. I think Google recently released a new version of EfficientNet. It's a really good classifier, and a PyTorch implementation would be nice."
"I've had issues with stability when I use a lot of data and try out different combinations of modeling techniques."

Questions from the Community

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Cohere?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was that it was all managed by AWS, and we had AWS credits, so I did not have to dive into that.
What needs improvement with Cohere?
Cohere can be improved by having more integrations beyond its current offerings with Amazon. Integrations with Databricks, Azure, and Google Cloud would be beneficial.
What is your primary use case for Cohere?
My main use case for Cohere is that it's a good embedding model. I have used it with Titan, but Cohere came out better. A specific example of how I've used Cohere for embeddings is when I was worki...
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for PyTorch?
I haven't gone for a paid plan yet. I've just been using the free trial or open-source version.
What needs improvement with PyTorch?
PyTorch needs improvement in working on ARM-based chips. Although they have unified memory for GPU and RAM, they are unable to utilize these GPUs for processing efficiently. They take so much time....
What is your primary use case for PyTorch?
I used PyTorch for creating my machine learning projects. For example, my last project was called 'Code Parrot'. It was from an NLP Transformers book. I tried creating a chatbot which can autocompl...
