AMD is teaming with Cohere, a security-first enterprise AI company, further strengthening its position in the rapidly evolving enterprise AI landscape.
AMD announced a significant expansion of its global partnership with Cohere, a security-first enterprise AI company, further strengthening its position in the rapidly evolving enterprise AI landscape. The collaboration ensures that Cohere’s entire portfolio, including Command A, Command A Vision, Command A Translate, and North, is now available on AMD Instinct GPU-powered infrastructure, delivering performance, scalability, and cost efficiency to enterprise and public sector customers.
In addition to powering Cohere’s customer-facing offerings, AMD disclosed that it will adopt Cohere’s North platform internally, integrating the technology into its enterprise AI portfolio to enhance internal and engineering workloads. This represents a concrete endorsement of Cohere’s platform reliability and security from one of the industry’s leading semiconductor companies.
Enterprise-Grade AI with Performance and Flexibility
Cohere co-founder Nick Frosst underscored the importance of the collaboration, noting that AMD Instinct GPUs now support a broad spectrum of Cohere’s AI models. According to Frosst, the expanded partnership provides critical flexibility for both public and private sector deployments, particularly for organizations seeking to integrate foundational models with security-optimized enterprise AI solutions. He also highlighted AMD’s compelling total cost of ownership (TCO) advantages, pointing out the platform’s alignment with sovereign AI initiatives in Canada and across international markets.
On AMD’s side, Vamsi Boppana, Senior Vice President of AI, emphasized the integration of Cohere’s full-stack AI solutions with the Instinct platform. Boppana noted that by pairing Cohere’s enterprise models with AMD’s high-performance GPUs, customers benefit from significantly greater performance, efficiency, and memory capacity—critical enablers for complex AI inference and training workloads.
Optimized LLMs for Enterprise and Government Scale
This latest announcement builds on AMD and Cohere’s ongoing work to optimize Cohere’s enterprise large language models (LLMs) on AMD Instinct GPUs. Showcased at the recent AMD Advancing AI 2025 event, the jointly optimized models are already being deployed across multiple enterprises, where they are delivering superior memory bandwidth and long-context reasoning capabilities. These performance gains not only expand the scope of workloads that enterprises can run but also reduce deployment footprints, directly lowering TCO, a critical goal for cost-conscious enterprise AI rollouts.
Sovereign AI and Data Security as Core Differentiators
The combination of Cohere’s emphasis on secure, private AI solutions and AMD’s high-performance infrastructure positions the partnership at the forefront of sovereign AI initiatives. Together, the companies aim to empower governments and enterprises to build and deploy trusted AI systems that fully respect national data, security, and compliance requirements.
For enterprises navigating the complex intersection of performance, efficiency, and trust, the AMD–Cohere collaboration provides not just tools but an infrastructure blueprint for enterprise-grade AI—balancing cutting-edge computational performance with the privacy, sovereignty, and compliance obligations that modern organizations face.
