How Cohere compares
Cohere is like Palantir in one way. It has a separate public sector line. Its Sovereign AI posting in Ottawa works with Canadian public sector organisations on secure generative AI projects. Cohere also hires an Infrastructure Specialist for the public sector in Ottawa.
Palantir and Scale AI run similar government tracks in the US.
