Cohere has introduced Embed 4, a multimodal language model designed for semantic search across complex enterprise documents. The model can process a wide range of content types—including text, images, tables, charts, code, and handwritten scans—commonly found in financial reports, medical records, and industrial documentation. Embed 4 supports files up to 128,000 tokens, or approximately 200 pages, and is compatible with over 100 languages, including Arabic, French, and Japanese. According to Cohere, the model is intended for organizations building language model-powered assistants that require access to internal knowledge. The model can be deployed either on-premises or in a private cloud environment, a configuration aimed at sectors with strict data sensitivity requirements, such as healthcare and manufacturing. Cohere says Embed 4 is now available through its own platform, as well as via Microsoft Azure AI Foundry and Amazon SageMaker.

Apple is rolling out a new system that processes user data directly on devices in an effort to enhance its AI capabilities while maintaining privacy standards. Starting with beta versions of iOS and iPadOS 18.5 and macOS 15.5, the company will begin comparing synthetic data with real-world examples—such as emails from the Mail app—without storing this content or using it for model training. The approach is designed to address existing weaknesses in Apple’s AI systems without compromising user privacy. It builds on the company's emphasis on local processing and aligns with its broader privacy strategy. Improvements enabled by the system include more accurate notification summaries, better text input features, and expanded image-generation capabilities such as Genmoji. The system is only active for users who have opted into device analytics. The move comes as Apple works to close the gap with competitors like OpenAI and Google, both of which have made more visible progress in generative AI.
