What’s possible with Semantic Search
Vector search: English
Vector search: Multilingual
"At ML6, we see that multilingualism remains a major challenge in an English-centric NLP landscape — especially in Europe. Naturally, we are actively on the lookout for solutions and have been impressed by what we’ve seen from Cohere thus far!"

Why Semantic Search
Embeddings performance
Cohere’s Embed model leads the industry in accuracy and performance, meaning the highest search relevance, even with noisy datasets
Multilingual support
Over 100 languages are supported, so the same topics, products and issues are identified the same way in each
Scalability
Cohere Embed supports data compression, reducing storage and compute requirements
Flexible deployment options
Cohere models are accessible through a SaaS API, cloud services (e.g., OCI, AWS SageMaker, Bedrock), and private deployments (VPC and on-prem)
