AI developer Cohere has launched Rerank 4, the latest generation of its reranking models designed to enhance enterprise search, retrieval accuracy, and AI agent performance across complex data environments. The announcement highlights the model’s expanded capabilities and adaptability for real‑world retrieval tasks in enterprise applications.
Rerank 4 represents a substantial upgrade over previous versions, most notably with a 32,000‑token context window—roughly four times larger than its predecessor. This expanded context allows the model to assess longer documents and multiple passages simultaneously, improving the relevance and precision of ranked search results.
To meet diverse application needs, Cohere offers Rerank 4 in two variants: Fast, optimized for use cases requiring both speed and accuracy—such as e‑commerce and customer support—and Pro, suited to more analytically demanding tasks in industries like finance and healthcare. Both iterations deliver low latency, flexible deployment options, and strong multilingual support across more than 100 languages, including state‑of‑the‑art retrieval in key business languages.
A standout feature of Rerank 4 is its self‑learning capability, which enables the model to adapt to domain‑specific workflows without requiring additional annotated data. Users can guide the model toward preferred content types and document corpora, enhancing relevance and performance over time.

The new model uses a cross‑encoder architecture, processing queries and candidate documents together to capture nuanced semantic relationships that typical retrieval methods can overlook. This deeper contextual analysis helps reduce noise and improve the overall quality of retrieved results—a critical advantage for retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) systems and AI agents that depend on high‑signal context.
Rerank 4 is also a core component of Cohere’s North AI platform, where it supports secure, agentic workflows. The model can be integrated into existing search infrastructures with minimal code changes and is currently available on major cloud platforms, including AWS SageMaker and Microsoft Foundry, with broader support planned.
By improving precision, performance, and adaptability, Rerank 4 aims to address the evolving demands of enterprise search and large‑scale AI deployments.
