Ep 93 - From Reading Papers in the Gym to a Billion-Dollar AI Company | Cohere's Untold Story
Aidan Gomez is the CEO and co-founder of Cohere. Aidan was an intern at Google Brain in 2017, when he helped co-author the now-famous “Attention Is All You Need” paper that conceptualized the transformer and eventually kicked off the Generative AI boom. He then left Google in 2021 to start Cohere, an AI startup valued at over $5b, that specializes in building LLMs for enterprise customers. In this conversation, we cover it all - from Aidan's childhood in Canada, his foray into computers and the internet, landing an internship at Google by accident, starting Cohere and what sets Cohere apart from other LLM businesses.
