Is Cohere doomed to zero Canadian users? Sovereign AI debate reignited
tekbog · x · 2026-10-31
Responding to JoeyTweeets' jab that "zero Canadians will voluntarily choose Cohere over OpenAI, Anthropic or an open-weight model."
tekbog disagrees: Cohere's models are good for many tasks, and governments and enterprises have real interest in sovereign AI — similar to what Mistral is doing in France and the EU. The spat highlights the ongoing divide over whether a national/enterprise sovereign AI market can actually sustain a model vendor.
