Cohere announced that its Compass retrieval platform is entering private beta as a new managed cloud offering called Compass Cloud.
The service consolidates document processing and search into one integrated platform, aiming to address token economics, agentic access patterns, and retrieval stack fragmentation for enterprises.
Cohere says Compass delivers a 14-16 point improvement over Azure Search on retrieval accuracy benchmarks.
Developers get API and Model Context Protocol access to build custom RAG applications and agentic retrieval workflows without managing their own infrastructure, and enterprise teams can now request early access.
