# Cohere North: sourced findings

> Published by onAI. onAI also sells one of the products compared here. Findings about other products link to public sources so you can check them; statements about onAI are marked as stated by onAI.

> Cohere North lifecycle: sunset. Version-scoped component migration: legacy Jira removed in North 2.0; legacy Google Drive and guardrail REST slated for removal in 2.1, Salesforce legacy and Data Interpreter deprecated without a fixed date. Whole North continues. Scope: Legacy North connectors/APIs/Data Interpreter only; customer upgrade version determines removal. Continuation: New Jira/Google Drive/Salesforce tools, guardrail gRPC and Code sandbox replace legacy paths; connection recreation or application migration may be required. Checked 2026-10-21; agent cross-checked 2026-10-21; check again by 2026-12-20. Sources: cohere-north:cohere-north:n-north-changelog, cohere-north:cohere-north:n-doc-36.

Cohere North has sourced findings for 49 of 51 criteria, including 49 that a second agent cross-checked. "Sourced" findings passed publication validation: they are scoped, fresh and cite public resolved sources. "Agent cross-checked" findings also received a separate agent source pass, not necessarily a hands-on test. "Stated by onAI" marks the publisher's own statements about its product (evidence type vendor-statement), which cite no third-party source. Humans approve the rubric, templates and generator; they do not review every finding. It does not declare a winner. A missing sourced finding is not evidence that a capability is absent.

## Models

### MOD-01: Model catalogue and providers

Judgment rule: List each available model by provider and plan, including reasoning, fast and multimodal variants. Record whether the user picks the model, the product routes automatically, or both. A provider counts only if at least one of its current models is selectable on the scoped plan.

#### Cohere North

Verification status: Agent cross-checked (agent-cross-checked)
Support: partial

North supports customer-configured Cohere and external providers; deployed models determine availability.

Availability: unknown
Delivery: native
Scope: surfaces=North 2 web application and Admin console, Customer-hosted North and Compass Kubernetes deployment; version=North platform 2.0.1; alpha model-tier aliases and direct image input; North Mini separately Beta; plan=North custom enterprise contract; current 2.0.1 release and per-feature states, entitlements unverified; add_ons=none stated; deployment_mode=not specified; region=Customer-selected private deployment; cloud inference and provider region configured separately; os=not specified.

Limitations:
- current_models: The model card documents North Large 01-2026, and the October 16 release adds North Mini Beta. The Skills guide recommends additional external model identifiers, but those do not establish what any customer deployment has installed or licensed.
- auto_routing: Documented resolution is group default, Default alias, then deployment default; inaccessible aliases silently fall back to provider default with a log warning. Automatic task-based routing across providers and UI disclosure of that fallback remain unknown.
- multimodal_input: North Large 01-2026 accepts text/images,256K input and32K text output. Alpha image input is Cohere-only; visual parser handles PDF/DOCX/PPTX, including OCR. Dictation uses configured ASR; complete per-model matrix unknown.

- providers — Which model providers are available? [supported]: Provider types include customer Cohere containers, Cohere Platform/compatibility, vLLM, Azure Cohere, Bedrock, SageMaker, Azure OpenAI, OpenAI and Anthropic. Sources: cohere-north:cohere-north:n-doc-177-20261026.
- current_models — Which current models are selectable on this plan? [partial]: The model card documents North Large 01-2026, and the October 16 release adds North Mini Beta.

### MOD-02: Model freshness

Judgment rule: Measure the days from a provider's general release to availability in the product for the last three major releases from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google (and Mistral where offered). Use dated changelogs or observation. Record deprecation notice for retired models.

#### Cohere North

Verification status: Agent cross-checked (agent-cross-checked)
Support: partial

Dated platform notes and operator-pinned model artifacts exist; provider release lag is unknown.

Availability: unknown
Delivery: native
Scope: surfaces=North 2 web application and Admin console, Customer-hosted North and Compass Kubernetes deployment; version=North platform2.0.1; exact docs feature state stated per atom; plan=North custom enterprise contract; current 2.0.1 release and per-feature states, entitlements unverified; add_ons=none stated; deployment_mode=not specified; region=Customer-selected private deployment; cloud inference and provider region configured separately; os=not specified.

Limitations:
- Remaining atomic gaps: release_lag_days, deprecation_notice.

- release_lag_days — What was the lag for each of the last three major releases, per provider? [unknown]: Unknown for release_lag_days. No matched provider/product dates for the last three releases or contractual model-removal notice period was retrieved.
- changelog — Is there a dated public model changelog? [supported]: Public North release notes through October 20 v2.0.1 include model and feature changes. Sources: cohere-north:cohere-north:n-north-changelog.
- deprecation_notice — How much notice is given before a model is removed? [unknown]: Unknown for deprecation_notice. No matched provider/product dates for the last three releases or contractual model-removal notice period was retrieved.
- version_pinning — Can an admin keep an older model version? [partial]: Self-hosted serving images/model artifacts are versioned independently; operators select image tags/digests. This does not guarantee retention of external API model versions. Sources: cohere-north:cohere-north:n-doc-168.

### MOD-04: Local and self-hosted models

Judgment rule: Record support for models running in the customer's environment (vLLM, Ollama, TGI or similar) and which features work with them: chat, RAG, tools, embeddings. Distinguish a documented, supported route from a generic endpoint that happens to work.

#### Cohere North

North chat and retrieval models can run in customer infrastructure.

Availability: unknown
Delivery: native
Scope: surfaces=North 2 web application and Admin console, Customer-hosted North and Compass Kubernetes deployment; version=North platform2.0.1; exact docs feature state stated per atom; plan=North custom enterprise contract; current 2.0.1 release and per-feature states, entitlements unverified; add_ons=none stated; deployment_mode=not specified; region=Customer-selected private deployment; cloud inference and provider region configured separately; os=not specified.

Limitations:
- Remaining atomic gaps: vendor_hosted_open_models.

- self_hosted_chat — Can chat use a customer-hosted model? [supported]: Customer Cohere serving containers and vLLM endpoints are supported; independent model chart deploys generative services in customer GPU clusters. Sources: cohere-north:cohere-north:n-doc-177, cohere-north:cohere-north:n-doc-168.
- self_hosted_embeddings — Can retrieval use customer-hosted embeddings? [partial]: Packed Compass provides local dense embeddings, sparse and rerank. Operator connects North/Compass to these services; arbitrary embedding model compatibility was not established. Sources: cohere-north:cohere-north:n-doc-168.
- feature_parity — Which features fail with self-hosted models? [partial]: Local visual processing needs parser/GPU deployment; hosted search/MCP needs egress. Foundry lacks sparse/North Large, so mixed inference required there. No full disconnected parity matrix retrieved.

Judgment rule: List each connector separately with plan, availability and setup owner: SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Teams, Google Drive, Gmail, Confluence, Jira, Notion, Box, Salesforce, ServiceNow, file shares. Record whether the vendor or a third party (or the customer via MCP) provides it, and whether it needs admin consent. A connector listed on a roadmap or partner page is `announced`. An on-prem connector or gateway proves access to local data, not a self-hosted platform (DATA-02).
