AS
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.

Has good stability, but the process of creating models could be more user-friendly
The platform integrates well with other tools, especially Python, which we use to create models. These models can be deployed on mobile devices, which perfectly suits our requirements. It supports our AI-driven initiatives very well by producing AI models, which is its primary function. I recommend it for those seeking specialized scripting. However, it's important to consider other options as well. It is better suited for specialists in the field and is less user-friendly than general tools like Excel. I rate it overall at six out of ten. While it is a powerful tool, other software options are slightly simpler for training models.

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."
"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."
"The best feature Cohere offers is the Reranking model."
"Speed has helped me in my day-to-day work, and I really notice the difference because it responds very quickly to LLM requests."
"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."
"I assess the value of Cohere's API support in my business operations as easy to integrate."
"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 helped us with all three aspects: money is saved, time is saved, and we needed fewer resources to meet our end goals."
"The available documentation is extensive and helpful."
"You can just use your local machine with the open-source TensorFlow and create pretty good models."
"TensorFlow is easy to implement and offers inbuilt functions for various tasks."
"The most valuable features are the frameworks and the functionality to work with different data, even when we have a certain quantity of data flowing."
"TensorFlow improves my organization because our clients get a lot of investment from their investors and we are progressively improving the products. Every six months we release new features."
"What made TensorFlow so appealing to us is that you could run it on a cluster computer and on a mobile device."
"I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I am not a developer but more of an account manager. I can find what I want with TensorFlow. I haven’t contacted technical support for any issues. Since TensorFlow is vastly documented on the internet, I usually find some good websites where people exchange their views about the solution and apply that."
"Google is behind TensorFlow, and they provide excellent documentation. It's very thorough and very helpful."
 

Cons

"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 can be improved by having more integrations beyond its current offerings with Amazon."
"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."
"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."
"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."

"TensorFlow Lite only outputs to C."
"What can be improved with TensorFlow is how it can mix in; how the JavaScript developers can use TensorFlow, as there's a huge gap currently."
"It doesn't allow for fast the proto-typing. So usually when we do proto-typing we will start with PyTorch and then once we have a good model that we trust, we convert it into TensorFlow. So definitely, TensorFlow is not very flexible."
"It currently offers inbuilt functions, however, having the ability to implement custom libraries would enhance its usefulness for enterprise-level applications."
"Personally, I find it to be a bit too much AI-oriented."
"In terms of improvement, we always look for ways they can optimize the model, accelerate the speed and the accuracy, and how can we optimize with our different techniques. There are various techniques available in TensorFlow. Maintaining accuracy is an area they should work on."
"Scalability is a major challenge because under the exercise project right now, we have integrated 14 exercises, one port and client is targeting more than 50 exercises."
"It would be cool if TensorFlow could make it easier for companies like us to program for running it across different hyperscalers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I did not require a license for this solution. It a free open-source solution."
"We are using the free version."
"I am using the open-source version of TensorFlow and it is free."
"I rate TensorFlow's pricing a five out of ten."
"The solution is free."
"It is open-source software. You don't have to pay all the big bucks like Azure and Databricks."
"I think for learners to deploy a project, you can actually use TensorFlow for free. It's just amazing to have an open-source platform like TensorFlow to deploy your own project. Here in Russia no one really cares about licenses, as it is totally open source and free. My clients in the United States were also pleased to learn when they enquired, that licensing is free."
"TensorFlow is free."
