🍁 Federally funded-ish (application under polite review)

Artificial Intelligence.
Genuine Politeness.

Cohere got $1.6 billion from Ottawa. We're asking for a modest $200 million loonies — and we'll throw in 50% of the company. It's the best deal on Parliament Hill, and the syrup is included.

Our Ask: $200M for 50%

A letter to the Right Honourable Prime Minister Carney. We kept it under one page because we know budgets are tight. Ours, mostly.

Dear Prime Minister Carney,

We applaud the government's $1.6 billion investment in Cohere. Truly. Great sector, great people, presumably great perogie catering at the announcement.

We believe Canada deserves a second frontier AI champion — one headquartered wherever the poutine is freshest. For a mere $200 million loonies, the Government of Canada will receive 50% equity in Cocheese, plus:

• Two (2) official languages: English and Punjabi
• One (1) maple-infused foundation model, codename "Beaver LM"
• Unlimited (0) federal bailouts requested — we're not like the airlines
• A sincerely apologetic chatbot that says sorry even when it's right

We are happy to fly to Ottawa. We will drive, actually. It's cheaper, and it's better for the hockey rink parking situation.

Yours in syrup and good faith,
— The Founders of Cocheese (population: 3 humans, 1 very optimistic model)

Frequently Asked, Politely Answered

Is this a real company?

Define "real." We have a domain, a chatbot, three humans, and a term sheet. Cohere has $1.6B. You tell us which is more real, eh.

Why are Canada's official languages English and Punjabi?

On this website? Because we said so, politely. Coco is fully bilingual in both, and unlike the actual bilingual services, she actually answers on the first try.

How is the AI so cheap to run?

We route through OpenRouter to ultra-cheap open models like Ling 3.0 Flash — around $0.02 per million input tokens. That's less than the cost of a Tim Hortons steeped tea per billion apologies.

Is the $200M-for-50% offer serious?

Absolutely not. But if the PMO is reading this: our inbox is open, the kettle is on, and we already picked out office chairs with maple stains on purpose.

Are you affiliated with Cohere?

No. Sorry. We just admire them from a distance — like everyone at a Toronto party admires the snack table. This is a parody site, eh.
