# Cohere pitches North 2 as the enterprise AI control room that works with any model

**Cohere turned its enterprise platform into a control center for AI agents with North 2, handling multi-step workflows on their own and retaining context across sessions.** A revamped orchestration system coordinates agents that tap into shared knowledge libraries and reusable skills while connecting to tools like Slack, SharePoint, and Jira. North 2 also generates presentations, dashboards, and simple apps straight from text prompts in the chat. Companies can run the platform on-premises, in the cloud, or fully air-gapped.

North 2 is model-agnostic. Alongside Cohere's own models like [Command A+](https://the-decoder.com/cohere-open-sources-its-strongest-model-yet/), organizations can plug in their own. Admins use "North Admin" to manage token usage, user quotas, and access rights down to individual agents. When agents take critical actions, they request human approval first. On Nvidia's [Blackwell](https://the-decoder.com/nvidia-blackwell-doubles-ai-training-performance-in-early-benchmarks/) and Hopper hardware, Cohere says its models need fewer tokens. LG CNS and Bell Cyber are already running North in production.

Cohere is targeting government agencies and regulated industries that want to keep AI under their own control. That's the same audience Aleph Alpha serves. Cohere [announced its acquisition](https://the-decoder.com/cohere-takes-over-aleph-alpha-shortly-after-the-german-startup-ousted-its-original-founder/) of the Heidelberg-based company in April. Aleph Alpha recently resurfaced with [Kolibri](https://the-decoder.com/aleph-alpha-releases-kolibri-an-open-weight-model-that-makes-the-case-for-european-ai-sovereignty/), a German-English language model.
