Coheres new translation model is open weights — but not for commercial use
Summary
Cohere released North Small Translate 1.0 as open weights under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license. The model supports machine translation across more than 50 languages and is available for evaluation and non-commercial use. Enterprises that want to run it in production must buy a commercial license and deploy it through Cohere's Model Vault platform. The launch reinforces Cohere's sovereign AI positioning while limiting full commercial independence from the vendor.
