A global initiative led by Cohere Labs to advance state-of-the-art multilingual AI. From our original Aya Dataset to our latest Tiny Aya models, we bridge gaps between people and cultures across the world.

Explore and interact with our models directly on our Hugging Face Space, making AI research and experimentation accessible to the global community.

The Scholars Program carves pathways for rising researchers to become the next generation of AI leaders through mentorship with our top-tier research team and access to powerful research infrastructure.

Through nurturing a vibrant Open Science Community with 4500 members from 150 countries and releasing all of our research and models to the public, we are empowering the next era of scientific discovery and progress.

Catalyst Grants provide academic partners, civic institutions and impact focused organizations free access to the Cohere API to pursue projects driving real-world change through artificial intelligence.

In 2017, a team of friends, classmates, and engineers started a distributed research collaboration, with a focus on creating a medium for early-career AI enthusiasts to engage with experienced researchers – they called it “for.ai.” Two of those co-founding members, Aidan Gomez and Ivan Zhang, later went on to co-found Cohere, and many of the original members went on to do exciting things (pursuing PhDs, working at industry and academic labs).

At the time, For AI was one of the first community-driven research groups to support independent researchers around the world. In June 2022, For AI was brought back as "Cohere For AI" when we started our journey as a dedicated research lab and community for exploring the unknown, together. We renamed to Cohere Labs in April 2025.
