Cohere chief executive Aidan Gomez says the Canadian AI company still has to secure computing capacity day by day, despite concerns about a glut of data-centre construction. The shortage affects the resources Cohere needs to train and operate its models.

In an interview in Tokyo, Gomez told TokenPost that Cohere has not built its own data centres and gets most of its computing resources from Microsoft Azure and CoreWeave. He also said the company needs more energy, infrastructure and chips. Cohere is working with Nvidia on AI models optimised for its chips, Gomez said. The account is a useful reminder that data-centre construction and available computing capacity are not the same thing.
