Command A models

Strongest: Command A+

Command A+ is Cohere's enterprise wager: a 218B-parameter mixture-of-experts (25B active) released 2026-05-20 as open weights under a plain Apache-2.0 license, deliberately priced with no public per-token rate card because Cohere wants sovereign and private-deployment contracts, not metered API traffic. It runs on a single NVIDIA B200 (or two H100s) at 4-bit, accepts text and image input across 48 languages, and posts a standout agentic-tool-use result (tau-squared-Bench Telecom 85, up from 37 on its predecessor). It is not a frontier flagship — Artificial Analysis places it mid-pack at 37 — but for regulated buyers who must keep inference inside their own perimeter, a governable, self-hostable, cleanly-licensed model beats a benchmark point.
