Cohere Battles Daily for AI Compute as Nvidia-Backed Startup Lacks Its Own Data Centers

Summary
Aidan Gomez said Cohere is in a daily fight to secure enough computing power, rejecting concerns that the AI industry is overbuilding capacity.
Cohere needs that compute to train and run its business-focused AI models, and Gomez said shortages remain a direct constraint on operations.
Without its own data centers, the Canadian startup relies on cloud providers including Microsoft Azure and newer suppliers such as CoreWeave for access to chips and capacity.
The comments underscore how even Nvidia-backed AI companies still face supply bottlenecks as demand for model training and inference keeps outstripping available infrastructure.
