Architecture comparison

Anthropic vs Cohere

Anthropic runs closer to the foundational model (Native (own / self-hosted weights)) than Cohere (Native (own / self-hosted weights)). No shared foundational model — different bets.

Architecture

Anthropic runs **Claude** and related services on a safety-first **multi-cloud** compute fabric spanning AWS Trainium2, Google TPUv7 and NVIDIA GPUs, fronted by Kubernetes‑based microservices (API gateways, orchestration, rate limiting, caching, and safety filters), with state held in PostgreSQL, vector stores, Redis, and cloud object storage.[1][10][13] Production offerings like Claude API and Managed Agents expose a fully managed orchestration and agent runtime, while emerging self‑hosted sandboxes move tool execution into customer infrastructure but keep Claude inference, routing, and session state on Anthropic’s cloud.[2][3][11]
