Toronto, 2019, and the enterprise retrieval bet
Cohere was founded in Toronto in 2019 by researchers who had worked on the Transformer. While consumer chat ate the headlines, Cohere sold retrieval: embeddings, rerank, and Command — a model family built to sit on top of a company’s own documents. Command R and Command R+ made grounded generation respectable. Command A is the current flagship. The public instinct never changed. Do not invent a page. Order the ones you have.
Command A and Command R
Command A is the deep seat for a large, messy list. Command R+ and the lighter Command R handle a shorter reorder. On Wrooms the desk is Rerank. Discover Live owns “what is on.” Rerank owns “of these, which.” Mixing those jobs is how a desk starts inventing sources.
What you paste, what you get back
Paste the candidates, say the query, say how many you want. Rerank puts the useful ones first and drops noise. It will not mint a citation that was not in the pile. Facts checks one claim. Kimi builds a 中文 dossier from a crawl.
How to ask Rerank
@rerank or pin the desk. Keep the room on the list you already retrieved.
