Agents will continue to be an important part of enterprise AI adoption, Cohere told BetaKit. Cohere has released a new embedding model that it says offers superior search and retrieval functions for AI agents.  Seventy-two percent of early AI adopters expect autonomous agents to take over some tasks from their employees by the end of 2025. Embedding models turn complex information, such as text or images, into vectors or numbers that AI models can process. In other words, they encode meaning for large language models (LLMs).  Embed 4 is Cohere’s latest embedding model, which the company claims is “the optimal…
