AMD and Cohere Expand AI Partnership to Bring Full Cohere Suite to Instinct GPUs

Cohere closed a $100 million extension at a $7 billion valuation, with AMD set to use its North platform internally.

Overview

  • Cohere’s Command A family, including Vision and Translate, plus the North platform are now available on AMD Instinct GPU infrastructure for enterprise deployments.
  • AMD will integrate Cohere North into its internal engineering and enterprise AI workloads, making the platform part of its own operations.
  • The companies position the offering for sovereign and regulated use cases that require strict data security, compliance controls, and lower total cost of ownership.
  • The move builds on prior optimizations of Cohere’s enterprise LLMs for Instinct GPUs, targeting long‑context reasoning and complex workloads with high memory capacity and efficiency.
  • Cohere said the new $100 million raise, led by BDC and Nexxus, lifts its valuation to $7 billion, and the company emphasized continued support for Nvidia GPUs alongside AMD.
