Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is in discussions to put at least a $200M investment into Cohere, a start-up pursuing artificial intelligence language processing, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The same discussions included Cohere talking about Nvidia (NVDA) about a potential strategic investment, according to the report.

Cohere builds natural-language processing software that can help build tools for chatbots, or other features capable of understanding human speech and text.
Any investment would build on existing talks Cohere had with Google in order to gain the computing power it needed to train its software.
Microsoft (MSFT) is reportedly in talks to boost its own investment in OpenAI, another start-up that happens to use Microsoft's Azure as its exclusive partner.
