We’re looking for human-centred solutions, where AI enhances, not replaces.
Submissions will be reviewed by a panel of judges including @1vnzh. The top team receives a $3k prize, accelerated Cohere internship interviews, API credits & merch.

We're introducing our first-ever hackathon with @UofT 🇨🇦
Top tier coding talent isn't a country away. It's just a few steps from our headquarters.
Join us on January 30th for a full-day hackathon focused on developing innovative, responsible applications of AI.
AI doomers' safety solution is always less competition, and @aidangomez wants the public to ask why.
Cohere believes technology should be something that you control, not that controls you.
Our latest project, CulturalRiddles tested 28 AI again human-written culture riddles models and uncovered major gaps in cultural understanding:
📊79% accuracy for the best model, but 22% or lower for some communities.
💬Translation improved accuracy from 22% to 32% on average.
🤷31% of reviewed answers were fabricated and models rarely admitted uncertainty.
The takeaway? Speaking a language isn’t the same as understanding its culture.

My team at Cohere is hiring for various roles. This is the perfect opportunity to work at a company training their own LLMs from scratch! Both roles are on the post-training side of the training stack and highly impactful.
1. Member of Technical Staff - Post-training (Data Infrastructure): https://t.co/UgkxXZ4VIv -> If you have experience in creating highly scalable and efficient data pipelines and if you are interested in solving state of the art problems at the intersection of large language modeling and engineering, this role is perfect for you!
2. Member of Technical Staff - Post-Training (Reinforcement Learning & Generalization): https://t.co/ZdyZFENPfF -> If you want to make GPUs go brrr by creating new RL environments and algorithms that make the model more generalizable and robust, you should apply!
Automate your tedious tasks with North 2.
Our upgraded agentic AI platform comes with improved intelligence features such as reusable agents and skills. Use them yourself and share to your team, meaning you can spend more time on the hard questions and less on the to-dos.
Embed 5 and Rerank 5 are now live on OpenRouter!
Build faster, smarter retrieval applications with our state-of-the-art models through a single API. Two models, one bill, zero switching platforms.
Available in Pro and Fast tiers.
Try Embed 5 – two models, one shared embedding space. Index with Pro, query with Fast for the best of performance and efficiency: https://t.co/m2o87EYp9D
@ai_news_x Same protections across the board in Model Vault: single-tenant, your chosen region, zero data retention by default. The difference is Vaults with confidential computing enabled - this is supported per model.
Full list in our public docs
We launched our sovereign inference platform Model Vault in January so you could choose the right Cohere model for the job, keeping your data safe at every step.
We're closing 2026 with more accessibility than ever, with open models now available in Model Vault.
When more people can access open models, everybody wins. We're adding as many open, world-class models as we can to Model Vault - both ours and others. Run them on dedicated or fully encrypted infrastructure.
With Model Vault, your models run on single tenant infrastructure that belongs to your workloads. No shared GPUs, no neighboring tenants, no infrastructure management.
For your most sensitive work, Model Vault Encrypted protects data in use, not just at rest and in transit. Nobody can see what you send to the model - not even us.
Nos équipes grandissent ici. On investit dans la relève et dans des partenariats de recherche ici. Notre avenir, on le bâtit au Canada.
