Reviewer scorecard
“The Rerank API is genuinely best-in-class for RAG. Embed v3 produces excellent vectors for semantic search.”
“Revolutionary approach to prompt engineering. Optimizers find better prompts than humans can write manually.”
“Rerank and embeddings are where Cohere truly shines. For RAG pipelines, their models are hard to beat.”
“Steep learning curve and the abstractions can be confusing. For most apps, good prompt engineering is faster.”
“Cohere's enterprise focus and RAG specialization create a defensible niche in a market dominated by generalists.”
“The idea that prompts should be compiled, not handwritten, is correct. DSPy is ahead of its time.”
