The Cohere platform is Cohere's API for its language models, including Command for text, Embed for search and Rerank for ordering results.
In plain words
Through one API key and software kits, developers call Command models to generate text, Embed models to turn text into numbers for search and grouping, and Rerank models to put search results in a better order. These pieces are often combined in RAG systems and agents.
A quick example
Imagine a company search tool that returns fifty loosely matching documents. It sends them to Rerank, which puts the most relevant ones first, and then passes the top few to a Command model to write an answer.
Where you'll meet it
