Cohere Partners With BCE

AI startup Cohere has partnered with BCE, Canada's largest telecommunications firm, to integrate its AI models into BCE's service offerings. This collaboration aims to provide sovereign AI solutions to Canadian government and enterprise clients, leveraging Cohere's secure, enterprise-grade AI through the Bell AI Fabric. The partnership will enable these organisations to access advanced AI models and custom applications, including Cohere's North platform.

Bell will become Cohere's primary Canadian AI infrastructure provider, while Cohere will be Bell's preferred provider for agentic AI solutions and large language models. Together, they plan to offer a comprehensive solution for Canadian organisations seeking to deploy AI capabilities, ensuring data security within Canada. This includes leveraging North, Cohere's agentic AI platform for both customers and Bell employees.

Cohere's AI models are designed to enhance business productivity by integrating generative AI capabilities into essential apps and workflows. These models are trained using diverse data sources and undergo testing to ensure integrity. BCE provides a range of communication services, including mobile data, internet, TV, and business communication solutions. The integration promises advanced AI capabilities while maintaining data sovereignty and security for Canadian entities.
