Cohere Acquires Cubic and Aisle to Expand Sovereign AI
Cohere acquired code review startup Cubic and cybersecurity firm Aisle to build a transatlantic alternative to US and Chinese AI companies.
AI developer Cohere acquired London-based code review startup Cubic and Prague-based cybersecurity firm Aisle on Friday. The acquisitions are designed to strengthen the company's sovereign AI platform and establish a transatlantic alternative to dominant AI firms in the United States and China.
Cubic will enable Cohere to create a secure coding vertical focused on improving software development and vulnerability detection. Aisle will serve as the company's global center for AI cybersecurity, providing autonomous systems for the discovery and remediation of software vulnerabilities.
These moves follow Cohere's 2026 purchase of Reliant AI and a pending merger with German AI company Aleph Alpha. The company is financing this expansion through a Series E funding round totaling 7 billion Canadian dollars.
