Marc G. Bellemare
VP Modeling at Cohere
Bellemare created a standard Atari testbed that helped researchers compare game-playing AI and accelerate deep reinforcement learning. He later developed methods that let agents consider the range of possible rewards, not just the average. After co-founding Reliant AI, he joined Cohere as VP of Modelling in 2026.
