Quite frankly, to have sovereignty, you really need to think about the full stack, from the data to the models to the infrastructure and to the regulation. Where Cohere is unique is really at the model layer. The ability to build world-class models today, foundation models that are able to incorporate large amounts of information and use that to drive productivity is where Cohere shines. Today we're one of very few global companies that are able to do that.
Where we are very complementary to other companies appearing today is in terms of partnering with them, for example, for the infrastructure layer. Cohere doesn't necessarily have expertise building its own infrastructure. We partner with companies such as Bell to do that.
The model layer is one that's particularly difficult from a technical point of view. Canada invented the original technology for doing that—deep learning and large language models—and we must preserve the capacity to commercialize it.
