# Cohere integration
> Set up the Cohere integration on Blaxel to call Cohere models through a unified endpoint with centralized access control and observability.
The Cohere integration allows Blaxel users to **call Cohere models using a Blaxel endpoint** in order to unify access control, credentials and observability management.
The integration must be set up by an [admin](../Security/Workspace-access-control) in the Integrations section in the [workspace settings](../Security/Workspace-access-control).
## Set up the integration
In order to use this integration, you must register a Cohere access token into your Blaxel workspace settings. First, generate a [Cohere API key](https://docs.cohere.com/v2/docs/rate-limits) from [the Cohere platform](https://dashboard.cohere.com/api-keys).
On Blaxel, in Workspace Settings > Cohere integration, create a new connection and paste this token into the “API key” section.
## Connect to a Cohere model
Once you’ve set up the integration in the workspace, any workspace member can use it to reference a Cohere model as an [external model API](../Models/External-model-apis).
When creating a model API, select Cohere. You can search for any model from the Cohere catalog.
After the model API is created, you will receive a dedicated global Blaxel endpoint to call the model. Blaxel will forward inference requests to Cohere, using your Cohere credentials for authentication and authorization.
Because your own credentials are used, any inference request on this endpoint will incur potential costs on your Cohere account, as if you queried the model directly on Cohere.
