In this episode of Eye on AI, Nick Frosst, Co-Founder of Cohere and former Google Brain researcher, explains why Cohere is betting on enterprise AI instead of chasing AGI.

While much of the AI industry is focused on artificial general intelligence, Cohere is building practical, capital-efficient large language models designed for real-world enterprise deployment. Nick breaks down why scaling transformers does not equal AGI, why inference cost and ROI matter, and how enterprise AI differs from consumer AI hype.

We discuss enterprise LLM deployment, private data, regulated industries like banking and healthcare, agentic systems, evaluation benchmarks, and why AI will likely become embedded infrastructure rather than a headline breakthrough.

If you care about enterprise AI, AGI debates, large language models, and the future of AI in business, this conversation delivers a grounded perspective from inside one of the leading AI companies.
