Cohere is adding third-party open models to Model Vault and Model Vault Encrypted, letting enterprises run both its own models and outside open models on a fully managed, encrypted inference platform. The company says regulated organizations such as banks, hospitals and government departments often cannot send sensitive data to a shared API, and may lack the capacity to manage open or on-premise inference themselves. Model Vault runs workloads on single-tenant infrastructure in a region the customer picks, and Cohere says prompts and outputs are not retained by default. Model Vault Encrypted goes further, using confidential computing to keep data encrypted while the model processes it, so that neither Cohere nor any cloud provider can see prompts or outputs. Alongside Cohere's Command, Embed, Rerank, Parse, Transcribe and Translate models, Model Vault runs open models including DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, GLM 5.3 Flash, MiMo V2.6 Pro, Gemma 4, NVIDIA Nemotron, GPT-OSS and Phi. Model Vault is live in the United States, the European Union and Canada, while Model Vault Encrypted is live in the US with EU and Canada serving coming soon. Cohere says it plans more regions, regional support for Model Vault Encrypted in Canada and the EU, larger models in Model Vault Encrypted, and more models in every region.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://cohere.com/blog/open-source-model-vault:

> Today we're launching third party models inside Model Vault and Model Vault Encrypted, allowing Enterprises to run both Cohere’s models and leading open models on a fully managed and encrypted inference platform. Zero data retention of prompts and outputs is implemented by default in Model Vault.
