What each model is for
Command A+
Cohere · Frontier
Cohere's fastest and most powerful open-weight model, aimed at high-performance enterprise agents: a 218B sparse mixture-of-experts architecture with native citations, tool use and reasoning, multilingual across 48 languages, released under an Apache 2.0 licence. It has three distinct cost paths, the weights are a free download and run on as little as two H100 GPUs, Cohere's trial API key is free but rate-limited and not licensed for production, and the hosted production API bills $2.50/$10 per MTok. The rate we publish is the production API, since that is what a live workload actually pays.
- Apache 2.0 open weights, self-host with no per-token charge
- Runs on as few as two H100 GPUs
- Native citations for grounded answers
- Multilingual across 48 languages
