Toronto-based AI startup Cohere is opening a Montréal office to deepen ties with Québec’s AI ecosystem. The company, which develops enterprise AI tools and large-language models, plans to triple its current seven-person Montréal team. CEO Aidan Gomez said the hub will help attract talent and strengthen partnerships with institutions such as Mila, the globally recognized AI research institute.
