Cohere, an Enterprise AI model-maker, recently secured an additional $100 million in funding.

This extension round, led by Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) and Nexxus Capital Management, elevates the company's valuation to $7 billion.

This raise follows an oversubscribed $500 million round in August, which valued Cohere at $6.8 billion.

The company also announced a strategic partnership with [AMD](https://www.startuphub.ai/ai-news/funding-round/2025/amd-ventures-backs-somite-ai-with-strategic-investment-to-accelerate-foundation-models-for-cell-therapy/). Cohere's full suite of Command-family AI models, including vision, translate, and reasoning capabilities, now runs on AMD's Instinct GPU technology. Moreover, AMD will integrate Cohere's technology internally as a customer.

This collaboration expands Cohere's hardware support. While competitor [OpenAI](https://www.startuphub.ai/ai-news/ai-video/2025/openai-and-apollo-research-reveal-ai-models-are-learning-to-deceive-new-detection-methods-show-promise/) has strong ties with [Nvidia](https://www.startuphub.ai/ai-news/funding-round/2025/nvidia-backs-ai-voice-pioneer-elevenlabs-amid-us-uk-lockstep-tech-alliance/), Cohere maintains support for Nvidia GPUs alongside its new AMD integration.
