Cohere introduces Confidential Computing in Model Vault with limited beta access

Cohere announced Confidential Computing in Model Vault on September 16, 2026, saying it was opening early access to a limited group of beta customers. The company promises to keep workloads inaccessible even to Cohere. It lists end-to-end encrypted inference—the process of running a model—and hardware-enforced isolation extending to the GPU through Nvidia Confidential Computing. Cohere also says users can request a signed attestation token at any time and independently verify it against the hardware vendor’s public keys.
