Cohere and Aleph Alpha merger nears completion

The planned merger between AI companies Cohere and Aleph Alpha is nearing completion, according to reports. Cohere CEO Adrian Gomez stated that significant progress has been made and expressed optimism that the deal will be finalized soon.

The merger, which was first announced in late April, aims to combine Canadian research strengths with German data and talent to create an ‘AI champion’. Gomez, who recently delivered a presentation to the German federal government on AI and the economy, noted that artificial intelligence could enhance the competitiveness of German companies and help protect jobs.
