Event Summary

Cohere's Acceptable Use Policy underwent documentation restructuring on June 11, 2026. The change involved removal of extensive navigation elements and course materials from the policy documentation, while retaining core policy language. The operational policy itself—what uses of Cohere services are permitted or prohibited—appears materially unchanged based on the text provided.

LOW

Consumer Impact

This change reflects restructuring of how Cohere's Acceptable Use Policy is presented and organized in its documentation, not substantive modifications to the policy terms themselves. The core policy language—describing what uses of Cohere Services are permitted—remains in place. No new restrictions, permissions, or obligations are introduced by this documentation reorganization.

Governance Analysis

This change reflects how Cohere presents its Acceptable Use Policy within its documentation architecture, not a substantive modification to what uses are permitted or prohibited. Users should understand that the policy framework itself has not materially shifted based on this reorganization, though reviewing the full updated policy remains prudent to confirm no additional changes occurred beyond the restructuring described.
