What changed
On November 3, 2026 Cohere opened Model Vault to open models from other labs. Model Vault is Cohere's managed, dedicated hosting: a vault runs models on GPUs reserved for you, and Cohere now serves open models in it next to its own Command, Embed, Rerank and other models.
- Standard Model Vault runs open models from DeepSeek, Z.ai (GLM), Xiaomi (MiMo), NVIDIA (Nemotron), Google (Gemma), OpenAI (GPT-OSS), Microsoft (Phi), Alibaba (Qwen) and Mistral AI. The blog post names DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, GLM 5.3 Flash, MiMo V2.6 Pro, Gemma 4, NVIDIA Nemotron, GPT-OSS, Phi and Hy3.
- Model Vault Encrypted runs Gemma, GPT-OSS, Phi, Qwen, Devstral and Ministral with confidential computing, so neither Cohere nor the cloud provider can see prompts or responses.
- Regions: Standard vaults can be created in the United States, the European Union or Canada. Encrypted vaults are US only for now; EU and Canada are listed as coming soon. A vault's region can't be changed after you create it.
- Zero Data Retention is the default for Model Vault: prompts and responses are not kept.
- Pricing is per GPU, per hour, for both vault types. Reserved capacity goes through Cohere sales.
- Open models use the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API at your vault's endpoint.
Prerequisites
- A Cohere API key in
CO_API_KEY - A vault created in the Model Vault app at vault.cohere.com, and its endpoint URL
- Python with the OpenAI SDK (
pip install openai)
Steps
- Sign in at vault.cohere.com and create a vault. Pick the region first: the EU and Canada are only offered for Standard vaults, and the region is fixed once the vault exists.
- Add an open model to the vault and copy the vault's endpoint URL.
- Call it with the OpenAI SDK. This is Cohere's example; replace
<COHERE_API_KEY>with your key and<YOUR_VAULT_ENDPOINT_URL>with your endpoint:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="<COHERE_API_KEY>",
base_url="<YOUR_VAULT_ENDPOINT_URL>/v1",
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-v4-1-flash",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from Model Vault!"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
