Cohere✓

Canada1 model on Stav

Cohere is Toronto-headquartered and focuses on sovereign, regulated-industry deployments. It has signed the EU AI Act Code of Practice, holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001, and in May 2026 released its first Apache 2.0 open-weights model. Main watch-points: the merger with Aleph Alpha has been signed but is not yet closed, a US copyright and trademark suit from news publishers is proceeding past dismissal, and the company has US offices and relies on US cloud providers. Customers should therefore confirm the sub-processor list and hosting region before treating it as fully outside US jurisdiction.
